You will find in Chapter 39 that the electrons cannot move indefinite orbits within atoms, like the planets in our solar system. To see why, let us try to "observe" such an orbiting electron byusing a light microscope to measure the electron's presumed orbitalposition with a precision of, say, 8.2 pm(a typical atom has a radius of about 100 pm). The wavelength ofthe light used in the microscope must then be about 8.2 pm.
(a) What would be the photon energy of thislight?(b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in ahead-on collision?(c) What do these results tell you about the possibility of"viewing" an atomic electron at two or more points along itspresumed orbital path? (Hint: The outer electrons of atoms arebound to the atom by energies of only a few electron-volts.)

You notice a very one-dimensional-thinking snail crawling along one rail of a railroad track. naturally, you remove it to a safer place. but before you do, you observe it as it moves from position xi = -92.9 cm to position xf = -64.9 cm along the rail, as measured from a point where one rail abuts the next. what is the snail\'s displacement δx in centimeters?

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
