Document Summary

Characteristics of the media: print media: words and images on paper (ex. Papers, mags, books etc. : electronic media: words, commentary, and images transmitted by audio and/or video devices and technologies (ex. Newspaper/magazine: emphasizes info and interpretation primarily, offers previews and summaries of events, provides written representation of events, success depends on credibility, highlights facts and dominant ideology, provides criticism of sports and sport personalities. Radio/tv: emphasizes entertainment primarily, offers play-by-play images and narratives, provides real-time representations of events, success depends on hype and visual action, highlights heroic plays and dominant ideology, provides support for sports and sport personalities. Characteristics of the internet: extends and radically changes (potentially) our connections with the world. Functionalism identifies the main social effects of the mass media: coordination, socialization, social control, and entertainment. By performing these functions, the mass media help make social order possible. Conflict theory: conflict theory offers a qualification.

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.

1 The T-S diagram
The temperature-entropy diagram is an alternative to the well knownpressure-
volume diagram. Before using it to analyze different vapor cycles,we need
to understand it properly.
1. Plot the following transformations for ideal gases in a T-Sdiagram
(a) Isothermal expansion
(b) Isobaric expansion
(c) Isometric heating
(d) Reversible adiabatic expansion
(e) Irreversible adiabatic expansion
2. Repeat the last question, but this time do it for a realsubstance,
starting in the compressed liquid1 region and ending in thesuperheated
region, when possible. Indicate the boundaries of eachregion.
3. We know that under certain circumstances the area under theplot
in a P-V diagram represents the work performed during theprocess.
What does it represent in this case? Under what assumptions isyour
answer true? Compare examples 6.1 and 6.2.
2 Thermal machines
We understand by thermal machine a device capable of transformingther-
mal energy (heat) into mechanical energy (work). We already knowthat
these machines have a limited efficiency which, in the two-sourcesmodel, is
obtained by Carnotâs cycle.
(Compressed liquid is sometimes also called subcooled liquid)
2.1 Carnot cycle
This cycle, although efficient, is impractical. To begin with, theextreme
temperatures of the cycle should be within the sources temperaturesfor a
finite heat flow to exist.
1. Given the temperature of the sources, draw the cycle accordingto the
named limitation.
2. Show that this leads to lower efficiency than the theoreticallimit.
3. Assume that heat flow from/to the sources is proportional to thetem-
perature difference between them and the working fluid, anddemon-
strate that a higher power output is related to a decreasedefficiency.
2.2 Rankine cycle
Out of the several practical possibilities, Rankine cycle and itsvariations is
widely used, especially for electric power generation.
1. Draw the basic cycle in a T-S diagram and explain it.
2. What does the efficiency of the cycle depend on? Comparewith
Carnotâs.
3. What are the differences between the ideal cycle and the realone?
4. Describe how it is modified by superheating and/or reheating.Explain
te benefits.
