Re: When to Use De Broglie

There are a couple ways of using DeBroigle's euqation, first if you are given a wavelength and are asked to calculate the velocity of an ejected electron. Second if you are given the velocity and asked to calculate the wavelength of an ejected electron.

Re: l=4

I agree with the posts above, it is theoretically possible, but there are no elements in the periodic table that corresponds to l=4.

Re: Balancing Equations Coefficient Question

To correctly balance an equation with fractions as stoichiometric coefficients, you must multiply every coefficient with the demoniator of the fraction. This action causes every coefficient (including the faction) to become a whole number.

Re: Sampling Hw #19

I agree with the post above, for this problem you should definitely use the DeBroigle equation and alternate between the masses of the particles you are trying to calculate. This in turn, will give you different values for the specific particles.

Re: Practice Problem

I agree with every post/reply above me! Unit conversion is an essential topic, as mentioned in Lavelle's recent lecture.

Re: Rydberg Constant

In one of Lavelle's recent lectures, I recall him using the number 3.29 X 10^15 Hz as the constant.

Re: How are you studying?

I comprehends subjects more when written out. In other words, I rewatch the lectures and retake notes as a refresher, I then look up worksheets regarding each topic (ie: work function, molar mass, atomic spectra etc....)

Re: Usage of E=hv

To compute the energy of an incoming photon use E=hv, De Broigle's equation is used for electrons.

Re: Given Unit Conversions?

I believe that my TA said that the constants (Avo. number, Speed of light, Plank's constant...) will be given to us on the test. I also heard that the periodic table will be accessible as well.

Re: What are the units for E

The equation can be manipulated to to solve for either "E" for energy or for "wavelength." When solving for energy, you would use joules. When given the energy at any question, you would have to solve for "wavelength" meaning your units would be in M for meters, the ans...

Re: Electrons ejected

It really depends on the amount of energy in the photons. If there are 3 photons with insufficient energy (to give off an electron) then no electrons would be given off. This is due to the fact that increase of intensity in the light source only increases the quantity of photons, NOT the energy of p...
