A particle of energy 5 KeV tunnels through a 10 KeV semiconducting film thickness of 10 nm. Describe qualitatively (no equations or derivations) the behavior of the particle in the different regions of the barrier. What are the key differences in classical description and quantum description for the particle’s behavior?

In a hot combustion chamber, oxygen diffuses through a stagnant film of air with thickness L to the carbon surface where it reacts to make CO and CO2. The mole fraction of oxygen just outside the stagnant film (z = 0) is 0.21. The reaction may be assumed to be instantaneous. No reaction occurs in the gas film. The chamber is at 1 atm, 1000 K, and L = 10 cm. The diffusivity of oxygen at these conditions is 0.35...

In a high-energy physics experiment, a subnuclear particle moves in a circular arc of 5.21×10-1 m radius perpendicular to a magnetic field of 2.70×10-2 T. The kinetic energy of the particle is determined to be 1.01×10-14 J. Identify the particle from its mass. The masses of the positron, pion, kaon, proton, muon and Dmeson are 9.10×10-31 kg, 2.50×10-28 kg, 8.84×10-28 kg, 1.67×10-27 kg, 1.88×10-28 kg and 3.35×10-27 kg, respectively. Assume that the particle is known to have a positive charge...

A beam of electrons with energy 250 MeV is elastically scattered through an angle of 10° by a heavy nucleus that is at rest. It is found that the differential cross-section is 65% of that expected for scattering from a point-nucleus. Estimate the root mean square radius of the nucleus. Neglect the recoil of the nucleus and use the rest mass of the electron as 0.511 MeV/c2.

Describe what your energy plan for the next 5-10 years would be assuming an increase in the number of cars, people, and buildings. Now assume that “energy descent plan”. What if there are not more people, more cars, or more development? What about energy continuance then? What questions would you ask local authorities and local citizens before embarking on developing and executing your plan?
