Answer Key - A-Level Physics H1 Quiz (Modern Physics)

  1. C (Light consists of discrete packets of energy called photons)

  2. B (Balmer series - transitions to n=2n=2)

  3. C (Momentum; λ=h/p\lambda = h/p)

  4. B (ΔxΔp≥h4π\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi})

  5. C (E=hf≈4.14 eVE = hf \approx 4.14 \text{ eV}; Kmax=4.14−2.0=2.14 eVK_{max} = 4.14 - 2.0 = 2.14 \text{ eV})

  6. The minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a metal.

  7. Φ=hf0=(6.63×10−34)(4.5×1014)=2.98×10−19 J\Phi = h f_0 = (6.63 \times 10^{-34})(4.5 \times 10^{14}) = 2.98 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}.

  8. E=hcλ=(6.63×10−34)(3×108)400×10−9=4.97×10−19 JE = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34})(3 \times 10^8)}{400 \times 10^{-9}} = 4.97 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}. Kmax=E−Φ=1.99×10−19 JK_{max} = E - \Phi = 1.99 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}.

  9. Intensity is the number of photons per unit area per unit time. More photons result in more collisions and more electrons emitted (higher current). However, KmaxK_{max} depends only on the energy of individual photons (frequency).

    1. Electrons orbit in stable, circular orbits without radiating energy. 2. Angular momentum is quantized (L=nℏL = n\hbar).

  11. ΔE=−13.6(142−122)=−13.6(0.0625−0.25)=2.55 eV\Delta E = -13.6 (\frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{2^2}) = -13.6 (0.0625 - 0.25) = 2.55 \text{ eV}.

  12. An electron in an excited state drops to a lower state randomly, emitting a photon.

  13. An incoming photon of specific energy triggers an excited electron to drop, emitting a second photon identical in phase, frequency, and direction.

  14. Due to the quantization of angular momentum, only specific orbits are allowed, leading to discrete energy states.

  15. λ=hcΔE=(6.63×10−34)(3×108)(2.55×1.6×10−19)≈4.88×10−7 m\lambda = \frac{hc}{\Delta E} = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34})(3 \times 10^8)}{(2.55 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19})} \approx 4.88 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} (or 488 nm488 \text{ nm}).

  16. 12mv2=eV⇒v=2(1.6×10−19)(100)9.11×10−31≈5.93×106 m/s\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(100)}{9.11 \times 10^{-31}}} \approx 5.93 \times 10^6 \text{ m/s}.

  17. λ=hmv=6.63×10−34(9.11×10−31)(5.93×106)≈1.23×10−10 m\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(9.11 \times 10^{-31})(5.93 \times 10^6)} \approx 1.23 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}.

  18. The wave-function Ψ\Psi provides a probability distribution. Upon measurement, the wave-function "collapses" into a single eigenstate, and the particle is found at a specific position.

  19. λ=hmv=6.63×10−34(0.145)(40)≈1.14×10−34 m\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(0.145)(40)} \approx 1.14 \times 10^{-34} \text{ m}.

  20. The wavelength is extremely small (10−34 m10^{-34} \text{ m}), which is far smaller than any physical aperture or atomic scale, making diffraction/interference effects impossible to detect.
