Conceptual Questions
38.1. (a) The ultraviolet light consists of bundles of energy that are absorbed by the electrons on the electroscope.
The frequency of these bundles of energy is enough to allow the escape of electrons from the surface of the
electroscope.
(b) The ultraviolet light does, in fact, cause a few electrons to be emitted from an uncharged electroscope. But once
the electroscope has acquired even a very tiny positive charge, further photoelectrons (negatively charged) cannot
escape the electric force that pulls them back to the positive electroscope. This is like projectiles being launched from
the earths surface with less than the escape speed. The very small positive charge that the electroscope is able to
acquire is not enough to deflect the leaves and thus has no noticeable effect.
38.2. (a) When V > 0, all the emitted electrons are attracted to and collected by the anode. This means a further
increase in the voltage cannot change the number of electrons arriving per second and thus cannot increase the
current.
(b) The work function E0 is the minimum energy an electron needs to escape from the metal. Some electrons, such
as those a bit farther from the surface, need more than E0 to escape. There is a range of escape energies, so the
escaped electrons have a range of kinetic energies and not a single kinetic energy.
(c) If the anode potential is V, an electron leaving the cathode with kinetic energy K arrives at the anode with kinetic
energy K = K + eV . A negative V causes a decrease in kinetic energy. K cannot become negative, so for
eV K the electron is repelled by the anode and turned back toward the cathode. The emitted electrons have a
maximum kinetic energy K max . When eV = K max , all electrons are turned back and the current drops to zero. If the
current reaches zero at V = Vstop , then Vstop = K max /e. The stopping voltage measures the maximum kinetic energy
by causing the most energetic electrons, those with K = K max , to be turned back from the anode.
38.3.
According to classical physics, the photoelectric current is not dependent on the lights frequency. If the light
intensity remains constant (same energy per second falling on the metal), the photoelectric current should be constant
with no threshold as the frequency is changed. Thus, the graph would be a horizontal line, starting from f = 0 Hz.

38.4.
The graphs would still be horizontal for V > 0 V because all the electrons are being collected. Also, more intense
light would still give a larger current. But classical physics postulates a thermal cause for the photoelectric effect. If
this were true, more intense light would heat the electrons more and thus eject the electrons with more kinetic energy.
In this case, more intense light would have a larger stopping voltage. This would appear on the graph as a more
negative x-intercept.
38.5. The photoelectric current depends on the potential difference V between the two electrodes, the nature of
the cathode metal, and the intensity of the light.
Solve: (a) According to classical physics, there is no dependence on the lights wavelength. If the light intensity
remains constant (same amount of energy falling on the metal cathode), the photocurrent will be unchanged.
(b) The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted from a cathode is K max = Eelec E0 . If E0 is smaller for a
different metal, the emitted electrons will have a higher kinetic energy and thus the stopping potential will be larger.
38.6. Lower speed. Since 1 = 2 then f1 = f 2 . And ( Eelec )1 = hf 1 is equal to ( Eelec ) 2 = hf 2 . But ( E0 )1 > ( E0 )2 ;
( K max )1 = Eelec ( E0 )1 and ( K max ) 2 = Eelec ( E0 ) 2 , so ( K max )1 < ( K max ) 2 and v1 < v2 .
38.7. Electron 1. K1 = 100 eV and K 2 = 200 eV. v =

has the larger wavelength.
38.9. (a) The number of dots will increase, but will still appear in bands of the same width. (b) When the speed is
reduced, the wavelength increases, leading to wider, more spread out fringes with the same number of dots in each
fringe as originally. (c) Neutrons have more mass than electrons, and therefore more momentum at the same speed.
More momentum means a smaller wavelength, so the fringes are narrower and closer together. (d) The pattern
becomes a single slit diffraction pattern. The two-slit interference pattern is eliminated.
Quantization

38.10. The particle has to set up a standing wave inside the box. An n = 3 wave has three antinodes. In this case,
however, the particles wavelength is not constant. The particles de Broglie wavelength is longer near the top of the
box, where its velocity is slower, and shorter near the bottom of the box, where its velocity is faster. The spacing
between two adjacent nodes on a standing wave is /2, so the nodes will be farther apart near the top of the box and
closer together near the bottom. This leads to a standing wave like the one shown in the figure.
39.11. No, the electron is not at rest. It is in an allowed orbit. The (quantized) orbits that are allowed are called
stationary states.
39.12. (a) E1 = 4.0 eV
(b) Ephoton = 3.0 eV because it had to go from state n = 1 to state n = 3 to then emit the 1240 nm photon.
(c) Eelec = 3.0 eV for the same reasons.

If the stopping potential is Vstop = 1.56 V, then eVstop = 1.56 eV. Thus,
E0 = hf eVstop = 6.21 eV 1.56 eV = 4.65 eV

Using Table 38.1, we can identify the metal as copper.
(b) The kinetic energy of the electrons and thus the stopping potential are independent of the light intensity. A more
intense light generates more electrons, but the electrons still have the same kinetic energy. The stopping potential is
Vstop = 1.56 V after the intensity is doubled.

38.34. Model: Photons are absorbed in a quantum jump from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.
Solve: Because absorption wavelengths are a subset of the wavelengths in the emission spectrum, we can use Equation
38.37 to analyze the hydrogen absorption spectrum. Because most of the atoms in a gas are in the ground state ( n = 1 ),
the only quantum jumps seen in the absorption spectrum start from this state. In other words, only the Lyman series
(m = 1 and n = m + 1, m + 2, . . . .) is observed in the absorption spectrum. Using m = 1 and n = 2, 3, 4, in Equation
38.37, we do not find any spectral line with = 656.5 nm. However, a transition 2 3 does lead to a line with
= 656.5 nm. However, this line is in the emission spectrum, not the absorption spectrum.

A graph of Vstop versus frequency f should be linear with x-intercept f 0 and slope h /e. Since the x-intercept is

(a) We see from the graph that the x-intercept is f 0 = 5.5 1014 Hz so
E0 = hf 0 = (4.14 1015 eV s)(5.5 1014 Hz) = 2.3 eV
The value of E0 = 2.3 eV identifies the metal as potassium.

(b) From the graph we read the slope as 4.244 1015 V/Hz. If slope = h /e, then

38.57. Solve: A photon with wavelength = 1240 nm has an energy Ephoton = hf = hc / = 1.0 eV. Because
Ephoton must exactly match E of the atom, a 1240 nm photon can be emitted only in a 3 2 transition. So, after
the collision the atom was in the n = 3 state. Before the collision, the atom was in its ground state (n = 1). Thus, an
electron with vi = 1.4 106 m/s collided with the atom in the n = 1 state. The atom gained 4.5 eV in the collision as it
was excited from the n = 1 to n = 3, so the electron lost 4.5 eV = 7.20 1019 J of kinetic energy. Initially, the kinetic

We see that the only visible wavelengths (400700 nm) in the hydrogen spectrum occur for m = 2, starting with n = 3.
We can calculate that 32 = 656.5 nm, 42 = 486.3 nm, 52 = 434.2 nm, and 62 = 410.3 nm. The next transition,
6 2, has < 400 nm. Thus these are the only four visible wavelengths in the hydrogen spectrum.
38.60. Model: The speed of the incoming electron is not relativistic, so use K = 12 mv 2 .
Visualize: The kinetic energy of the incoming electron is K = 12 (9.11 1031 kg)(2.1 106 m/s) 2 = 2.01 1018 J =

Solve: The orbital electron can take most of the energy of the incoming electron and jump up to level n = 3 because
n = 3 is 12.09 eV higher than n = 1. The orbital electron cant make it up to n = 4 because that would require
12.75 eV.
Now the atom undergoes a quantum jump of n = 1 so it drops from n = 3 to n = 2. This transition has an energy

the wavelengths are in the ultraviolet range.
38.64. Model: An inelastic collision between the atoms causes the electrons to be excited.
Solve: From Example 38.12, a wavelength of 121.6 nm corresponds to a 2 1 transition. Because the atoms were in
their ground states before colliding, each atom lost kinetic energy K = E2 E1 and, in the process, excited the
electron from n = 1 to n = 2, from where it subsequently emitted the photon. Because the atoms each end at rest,
K = Ki = 12 mv 2 . Thus

38.65. Solve: (a) Nearly all atoms spend nearly all of their time in the ground state (n = 1). To cause an emission
from the n = 3 state, the electrons must excite hydrogen atoms from the n = 1 state to the n = 3 state. The energy
gained by each atom is
E3 E1 = 1.51 eV (13.60 eV ) = 12.09 eV
This means the electrons must each lose 12.09 eV of kinetic energy. Thus the electrons must have at least K min =
12.09 eV of kinetic energy to cause the emission of 656 nm light. The minimum speed of the electrons is

To ionize a hydrogen atom, a minimum energy of 13.60 eV is required. Thus, the kinetic energy of the freed electrons is
K = 12 mv 2 = E 13.60 eV = 17.76 eV 13.60 eV = 4.16 eV
38.67. Visualize: Please refer to Figure 38.14.

(c) The waves traveling to points B and C are each diffracted an angle of 3.2. From the geometry, the distance
between B and C is 2(10 cm) tan 3.2 = 1.1 cm.
(d) The atoms exhibit interference when recombined at point D. For interference to occur, each atom must have
somehow traveled along both paths through the interferometer. So halfway through, each atom must have been
present both at point B and at point C, even though these points are more than 1 cm apart. Were forced to conclude
that matter, at the atomic level, does not consist of localized, point-like particles. Instead, the atoms appear to have
the nonlocalized behavior that we previously associated with waves.
