Document Summary

God has given the earth to the children of men. ; given it to mankind in common nobody has any right to but himself. God, when he gave the world in common to all mankind, commanded man also to labour, and the penury of his condition required it of him. God gave the world to men in common; but since he gave it to them for their benefit he gave it to the use of the industrious and rational (and labour was to be his title to it) (sec. Similarly, bartering is doing a justice to the commons. Anyone may appropriate only enough so as much and as good of a supply is left for others. One may appropriate only as much as he can before it spoils. One may acquire only what that person mixes with his labour: explicate hobbes"s account of the state of nature. Actions should be judged primarily by the motives that produce them.

Learning Goal: Understand how to determine the constants in thegeneral equation for simple harmonic motion, in terms of giveninitial conditions.
A common problem in physics is to match the particular initialconditions - generally given as an initial position x_0 andvelocity v_) at t=0 - once you have obtained the general solution.You have dealt with this problem in kinematics, where theformula

1. x(t) = x_0 + v_0t + at^2

has two arbitrary constants (technically constants of integrationthat arise when finding the position given that the acceleration isa constant). The constants in this case are the initial positionand velocity, so "fitting" the general solution to the initialconditions is very simple.

For simple harmonic motion, it is more difficult to fit the initialconditions, which we take to be

x_0, the position of the oscillator at t = 0, and
v_0, the velocity of the oscillator at t = 0.

There are two common forms for the general solution for theposition of a harmonic oscillator as a function of time t:

2. x(t) = A\cos(omega t + phi) and
3. x(t) = C\cos(omega t) + S\sin(omega t),

where A, phi, C, and S are constants, omega is the oscillationfrequency, and t is time.

Although both expressions have two arbitrary constants--parametersthat can be adjusted to fit the solution to the initialconditions--Equation 3 is much easier to use to accommodate x_0 andv_0. (Equation 2 would be appropriate if the initial conditionswere specified as the total energy and the time of the first zerocrossing, for example.)

Find C and S in terms of the initial position and velocity of theoscillator.
Give your answers in terms of x_0, v_0, and omega. Separate youranswers with a comma.

The emergence of line spectra from a gas when a current passesthrough it was an observed phenomenon waiting for an explanation inthe early 20th century. The atomic line spectra coming fromelements such as hydrogen had been analyzed since the late 19thcentury. By studying the wavelength of the emerging radiation ofhydrogen, experimenters found (often by trial and error) that thewavelengths in those spectra were described by the formula

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2}\right),
where R is known as the Rydberg constant. It has a value of R =1.097 \times 10^{7}\; \rm m^{-1}. The variables n_1 and n_2 areinteger numbers (n_1 = 1,2,3,4,\dots). As experiments continued,scientists began to see more and more characteristic lines emergingfrom the hydrogen spectrum. Each of them corresponded to awavelength predicted by this formula with some integer values forn_1 and n_2.

In 1913, Niels Bohr provided an explanation for the observationsmade in experiments by proposing that each electron in an atom hadonly certain allowable energy levels. Furthermore, he postulatedthat when an electron changed its energy level, it must emit orabsorb a single photon with the energy equal to the energydifference between the two levels.

With this interpretation, the variables n_1 and n_2 acquired newsignificance. Bohr's model predicted that n_2 was the initialenergy state of the atom (n_initial) and that n_1 was the finalstate of the atom (n_final). A photon with the predicted wavelengthwas created when an atom made a transition from its initial energystate to a lower final energy state. The equation now read

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_{\rm final}^2} -\frac{1}{n_{\rm initial}^2} \right).
Bohr's model also predicted that a photon of the appropriatewavelength (given by the same formula) could promote an atom from alower energy level to a higher one.

In this problem, we explore the photon characteristics necessaryfor transitions between energy levels in hydrogen and singlyionized {\rm He}^+, whose energy levels are accurately predicted bythe Bohr model.
What is the change in energy DeltaE of the hydrogen atom as theelectron makes the transition from the n=3 energy level to the n=1energy level?
Express your answer numerically in electron volts.

b. When an atom makes a transition from a higher energy level to alower one, a photon is released. What is the wavelength of thephoton that is emitted from the atom during the transition from n=3to n=1?
Express your answer numerically in angstroms.

c.

When the hydrogen atom makes the transition from the n=2 to the n=1energy level, it emits a photon. This photon can be absorbed by toa singly ionized helium atom ({\rm He}^+) in its second energylevel (n_{\rm initial} = 2), causing it to move to a higher energylevel. To what final energy level number n_final can the photonpromote the helium ion?

Note that {\rm He}^+ has two protons in its nucleus and a singleelectron.
Express your answer as an integer.
