Give an example of a physical entity that is quantized. State specifically what the entity is and what the limits are on its values.
An example of a physical entity that is quantized. Also, define the term entity and state the the limits on its values.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Quantization is the concept for physical quantity which is changing for particular time and this change cannot be observed continuously but only for certain time period.
Charge particles are quantized, angular momentum is quantized, energy is quantized in black body radiation.
The value of charge particle is quantized in form of (ne) where n is the number of quantized particles and e is the electron. So, the minimum value of quantized charge is equal to the value of e.
Conclusion:
Thus, quantized particle is having the change value for the given time example of quantized entity is charge.

- A physicist is watching a 15-kg orangutan at a zoo swing lazily in a tire at the end of a rope. He (the physicist) notices that each oscillation takes 3.00 s and 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 5.00 J? (c) Can the quantization be observed?arrow_forwardHow do the allowed orbits for electrons in atoms differ from the allowed orbits for planets around the sun?arrow_forwardGive an example of a physical entity that is not quantized, in that it is continuous and may have a continuous range of values.arrow_forward

What type of photons would you expect from the next series? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements is incorrect concerning the X-ray spectra (see figure)? a The K. radiation is produced when an electron in the metal target atom makes a transition from an energy level (n-2) to an energy level (n-1) b) The characteristic lines K, and Ka are dependent on Char c the type of metal used for the metal target. c) The cutoff wavelength Ao depends on the electric po- tential difference across the X-ray tube. Brem ung d) The cutoff wavelength is related to the kinetic energy Wevelenh of the incident electron. e) The Ka radiation is produced when an electron in the metal target atom makes a transition from an energy level (n-3) to an energy level (n-1)arrow_forward
