You will find in Chapter 39 that the electrons cannot move indefinite orbits within atoms, like the planets in our solar system. To see why, let us try to "observe" such an orbiting electron byusing a light microscope to measure the electron's presumed orbitalposition with a precision of, say, 8.2 pm(a typical atom has a radius of about 100 pm). The wavelength ofthe light used in the microscope must then be about 8.2 pm.
(a) What would be the photon energy of thislight?
1 keV

(b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in ahead-on collision?
2 keV

(c) What do these results tell you about the possibility of"viewing" an atomic electron at two or more points along itspresumed orbital path? (Hint: The outer electrons of atoms arebound to the atom by energies of only a few electron-volts.)

The particle p starts from rest at point a at time t = 0 and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of 2.8g as it follows the horizontal path shown. determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before point b, (b) just after point b, and (c) as it passes point c. state your directions relative to the x-axis shown (ccw positive) and choose the angle with the smallest magnitude.
