a muonic atom has an electron replaced by a particle called a muon, which is about 200 times more massive, but otherwise almost the same as an electron before you start the rest of this, you'll want to check what quantities for a bohr hydrogen atom depend on the electron mass. consider a muonic hydrogen atom in its ground state. ignore subtle effects like the reduced mass or any relaticistic considerations (even though the former should be relevant here). Remember that in a bound electrostatic system the kinetic energy is equal to the opposite of the total energy. Calculate:
a) The orbital frequency and the wavelength corresponding to classical electron-magnetic waves of this frequency
b) The frequency and wavelength of a photon with just enough energy to ionize the system
c) The de broglie wavelength and the de broglie frequency for the muon
d) Another relevant length scale is the so-called "compton wavelength" of the muon, which is the wavelength corresponding to the rest-energy of the particle assuming the speed of light. calculate the compton wavelength of the muon e) yet one more relevant length scale is the radius of this atom, a0(u). Taking this length as an uncertainty on where the muon might be found, what is the minimum uncertainty on momentum?

Interstellar gas in many galaxies is in virial equilibrium with the stars, in that the rms speed of the gas particles is the same as the rms stellar speed. Consider a large elliptical galaxy with a virial radius of 150 kpc and a mass of 5 × 1012 solar masses. Calculate the rms stellar velocity using the virial theorem. Hence estimate the temperature of the interstellar gas, assuming that it is composed entirely of hydrogen.

Two children are sliding down a snowy hill which is inclined by 45.6 degrees with respect to horizontal. One has a rough sled which has a coefficient of kinetic friction between it and the snow of uk = 0.364; the other has a slippery sled which has a coefficient of kinetic friction between it and the snow of uk = 0.138. If both children start at the top of the 46.3 m tall hill initially at rest, what is the difference in speed between these two sleds at the bottom of the hill?

In one experiment the electric field is measured for points at distances r from a very long, straight line of charge that has a charge per unit length λ. In a second experiment, the electric field is measured for points at distances from the center of a uniformly charged insulating sphere that has total charge Q and radiusR = 8.00 mm. The results of the two measurements are listed in the table below, but you are not told which set of data applies to which experiment.

To solve the mystery, start by creating the graph ln(E) versus ln(r) for each data set. Make sure you convert r values to meters before calculating ln(r).
Use Excel. The axes should be labeled appropriately, and the graphs should be titled Measurement A and Measurement B, respectively. Show a linear trendline and its equation for each graph. Make sure that the numerical coefficients of the trendline equation show at least five significant digits, you will need them in your calculations below. You will submit the Excel file showing the graphs to Blackboard, separate from the test. (5 points)
Now answer the following questions:
a) Use these graphs to determine which data set, A or B, is for the uniform line of charge and which set is for the uniformly charged sphere. Explain your reasoning.
b) Use the trendline equation of the graph corresponding to the line of charge to calculate λ. Show neatly your calculations.
Use the trendline equation of the graph corresponding to the charged sphere to calculate Q. Show neatly your calculations.
Calculate the electric field inside the sphere, at 4.00 mm from the center. Show neatly your calculations.
Hint: If the electric field is invers proportional to a power of
r, say E = B/rn with B a constant factor, then ln(E) = ln(B) -
n∙ln(r). So, the graph of ln(E) versus ln(r) should be a straight
line, for which the slope is -n and the vertical intercept is
ln(B).
Now apply this idea to the electric field of a line of charge for
which E = 2kλ/r, so ln(E) = ln(2kλ) - ln(r), and to the electric
field outside of a uniformly charged sphere for which E = kQ/r , so
ln(E) = ln(kQ) -2ln(r). What is left for you is to compare these
theoretical equations to the trendline equations of the charts and
identify which one applies best to Measurement A and which one to
Measurement B.

Two thin square flat sheets are placed parallel to each other. The distance between the sheets is much smaller than the size of each sheet, so we can consider the sheets infinite. The sheets are uniformly charged, with surface charge densities σ1 and σ2, respectively. The magnitudes and the signs of these charge densities are not known. To determine σ1 and σ2, you measure the electric force on a test point charge q = 2.00 nC at several locations. You find the following results:
i) When the test charge is placed in the region between the sheets, the electric force is 7.92 mN (mili Newtons) and is directed towards sheet 2.
ii) When the test charge is placed in the regions outside, on either side of the sheets, the electric force is 1.12 mN and is directed towards the sheets.
Now address the following questions:
a) Calculate the electric field in the region between the sheets
and then in the outside regions. Draw the sheets and sketch some
electric field lines in all three regions.
Show neatly your calculations. (15 points)
b) Determine σ1 and σ2. Express your results for σ1 and σ2 in
nC/cm2 and do not forget to include the sign. Show neatly your
calculations. (20 points)
(Hint: start by expressing the electric fields you just calculated
in part a in terms of σ1 and σ2, keeping in mind the principle of
superposition. Then solve for the charge densities.)
[Formulas to use: Esheet = 2πk|σ|; F = qE, and the principle of superposition]
