Question

A physicist is watching a 15-kg orangutan at a 700 swing lazily in a tire at the end of a rope. He (the physicist) notices that each oscillation takes 4.00 sand hypothesizes that the energy is quantized. (a) What is the difference in energy in joules between allowed oscillator states? (b) What is the value of n for a state where the energy is 3.70 3? (c) Can the quantization be observed? Yes. n is large enough No. Energy difference is too small and n is too large. No. Energy difference is too large and n is too small Yes. Energy difference is large enough

Answer 1

0 Given, oscillation, T=us Difference in energy between allowed is. oscillator states st w W = 2 27 za h 20 ha T h=Planck Constant h T 6.63 x 10-34 h 4 I E 1.66 X 10^34 J ( 6 ) E 3. 70 T we know E (n+ 2 ) hw (+): h T >> 3.7 X 4 6.63*16-35 an+ n 2:23 P1034 (C) Ans:- No, Energy difference is too small and n is large.
