    Physics 30: Chapter 15 Topics 15.3 – 15.5 Practice Questions


    Topic 15.3

    1. Describe Rutherford’s gold foil experiment and suggest how it helped determine the existence of the
    nucleus

    2. What equation is used to represent the “planetary model” of the atom and what do the variables represent

    Pg. 769 Example 15.5


    In a scattering experiment, some alpha particles are scattered almost straight back from a sheet of gold foil
    -12
    Each of these particles had an initial kinetic energy of 1.6x10 J. The charge on an alpha particle is +2e,
    and
    the charge on a gold nucleus is +79e. Estimate the maximum possible size of a gold nucleus, given that the
    alpha particles do not hit the nucleus.

    Topic 15.4
    1. What were the mistakes/concerns that Bohr identified with the Rutherford model of the atom?

    2. What assumptions are made by Bohr’s model?


    4. Suppose we take light from hydrogen, and pass it through a prism. What happens? (Choose one)
    1. Nothing.
    2. It is refracted (bent), but still looks bluish
    3. It explodes into the colors of the rainbow (the same thing that would happen to sunlight).
    4. Four distinct colours emerge, each one refracted by a different amount.
    Explain your answer.

    5. What is spectroscopy ? _________________________________________________________

    What are the 3 types of spectrums (for each describe its appearance and how it is produced)
    1.

    2.

    3.

    6. What is Balmer’s equation for determining the wavelengths of the hydrogen spectrum?
    ____________________________,what is Rydberg’s Constant for hydrogen?

    Ex) The emission spectrum of an unknown substance contains lines with the following wavelengths: 172
    nm, 194 nm, and 258 nm. If these all represent transitions to the ground:
    • Calculate the energies of the first three excited states.

    7. What expression is used to determine where electron orbit the nucleus of a hydrogen atom?
    How do you find out what galaxies (mysterious clouds of light) are made of
    1. Send out a probe, collect some stuff, and bring it back to Earth to analyze.
    2. Ask an astrologer.
    3. Send out a manned probe, after we settle on Mars.
    4. Examine the spectra.
    Explain your answer.

    Pg. 775 Example 15.6


    How much energy must a hydrogen atom absorb in order for its electron to move from the ground state to the
    n=3 energy level?

    Pg. 778 Example 15.7 Find the wavelength of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron drops
    from the n=3 to the n=2 level.

    The emission line spectrum of oxygen from the Aurora Borealis shows that energy drops from 4.17eV to
    1.96eV. What wavelength of light would be produced, and what color would you expect to see?

    15.5
