A hydrogen atom (with the Bohr radius of half an angstrom) is situated between two metal plates 1 mm apart, which are connected to opposite terminals of a 500 V battery. What fraction of the atomic radius does the separation distance d amount to, roughly? Estimate the voltage you would need with this apparatus to ionize the atom.
(a) Prove the "vertical angle hypothesis" (I. 15): opposing angles are congruent if two lines cut each other. (Hint: You'll need to use postulate 4 about right angles in this case.) ) (b) Complete the proof of the Exterior Angle Theorem using section (a): illustrate why beta < alpha
a) An electron and a 0.0500 kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 460 m/s, accurate to within 0.0100%. Within what lower limit could we determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity? (Give the lower limit for the electron in mm and that for the bullet in m.)
b) What If? Within what lower limit could we determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity if the electron and the bullet were both relativistic, traveling at 350c measured with the same accuracy? (Give the lower limit for the electron in nm and that for the bullet in m.)
