Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. One of the atomic models is shown below.

Overlapping red and blue balls in the center with a circular fuzzy green cloud outside them.

What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it?

A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back off of the thin metallic foil.
Experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.
Equations were used to identify regions around the nucleus where electrons would likely be.
Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

Astone is thrown into a pond. what happens to the amplitude of the resulting waves as they get farther from the point where the stone hit the water? explain.

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid
