Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the uncertainty principle?

- It is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and exact momentum for any object. - it determines a minimum value of uncertainty (h/4pi) - the more we know about velocity, the less we know about position and vice versa - the larger the mass, the less uncertainty

An electron in a hydrogen atom could undergo any of the transitions listed below, by emitting light. Which transition would give light of the shortest wavelength?

n = 4 to n = 1 Photons with shorter wavelengths have more energy than those with longer wavelengths. n = 1 is the lowest energy level, the energy increases as n increases. A transition from n = 4 to n = 1 will release more energy than any other option given.

In the 20th century, quantum mechanics addressed the failures of classical mechanics by introducing the concept of wave-particle duality. Why was classical mechanics able to explain the world just fine up until then?

Macroscopic objects can be modeled purely as particles because their wavelength is so small compared to their scale that it can be neglected for most purposes and still give a good description of their behavior.

The quantum mechanical approach to atomic structure permits the calculation of

a region about the nucleus in which an electron of specified energy will probably be found.

One of the first radar devices developed during World War II used microwave radiation of a wavelength that triggers the rotation of water molecules. This was an unfortunate coincidence because

absorption of microwave radiation by water in the atmosphere interferes with the detection of intended objects.

The Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom

accounts for the fact that light of only certain wavelengths is given off when a hydrogen atom is excited.

Classically the energy contained in electromagnetic radiation is proportional to the (amplitude, frequency, wavelength), whereas in quantum mechanics it is proportional to the (amplitude, frequency, wavelength)

How would you explain what happens when Ep>work function of a metal?
