The diameter of the nucleus is about 10 fm. A simple model of thenucleus is that protons and neutrons are confined within aone-dimensional box of length 10 fm.

What is the first energy level, in MeV, for a proton in such abox?

What is the second energy level, in MeV, for a proton in such abox?

What is the third energy level, in MeV, for a proton in such a box?

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H− (the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeV to 20MeV. This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible−about 1/2000 of the protons mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.7 T .

Part A

What is the speed of a 5.0-MeV H−?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B

If the H− has energy 5.0MeV and B= 1.7 T , what is the radius of this ions circular orbit?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons ) starts out with kinetic energy of 10 MeV (10×106 eV), and heads in the +x direction straight toward a gold nucleus (containing 79 protons and 118 neutrons). The particles are initially far apart, and the gold nucleus is initially at rest. Assuming that all speeds are small compared to the speed of light, answer the following questions about the collision. What is the final momentum of the alpha particle, long after it interacts with the gold nucleus?
