3. In your own words, explain Thomson’s and Rutherford’s contribution to the atomic theory. Give sketches to substantiate your answer. 4. Explain how Bohr contributed in defining the structure of the atom. 5. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic tool used in medicine. The imagers used in hospitals operate at a frequency of 400 MHz (1 MHz = 106 Hz). Calculate: (a) The wavelength …show more content…
An electron falls to the n= 1 energy level (i.e. nf =1) during a transition. The wavelength of the line emitted was 95 nm. Calculate the energy level the electron fell from (i.e. ni) to the nearest whole number. Calculate the energy of this line. 12. What is the difference in explanation between the quantum mechanical treatment of the electron in the atom and that from classical physics? 13.
