Consider the blackbody radiation emitted at a temperature of 500◦C. (i) Explain why a tungsten wire in an old-fashioned light-bulb starts to glow as it becomes sufficiently hot. (ii) Calculate the percentage pressure increase of the blackbody radiation if the temperature is raised to 550◦C. An electron escapes the hot tungsten wire and is subsequently trapped in a one-dimensional square quantum well. The potential outside the well can be approximated as infinite. (iii) Sketch the probability distribution of the electron...

(1) Parasaurolophus was a dinosaur whose distinguishing feature was a hollow crest on the head. The 1.2m long hollow tube in the crest had connections to the nose and throat, leading some investigators to hypothesize that the tube was a resonant chamber for vocalization. (Figure 1) If you model the tube as an open-closed system, what are the first three resonant frequencies? (Use 350 m/s for the speed of sound.) Enter your answers using two significant figures in ascending order...
