3. (a) Explain TWO observed aspects of the photoelectric effect that violate classical physics, and bow these can be explained in terms of Einstein's "photon" theory. (4) (1) Consider a "classical electron in a hydrogen atom in an orbit of radius r. Assume that the velocity and the energy of the electron is given by: Απεραν and E= or Show how the idea of de Broglie waves and/or Bohr's quantisation, the can be used to explain the quantisation of the electron's energy. You should specifically derive the formulas: 2260 and Em = E/? (6) (c) Consider a particle in an infinitely deep one-dimensional potential well. Obtain the allowed energies and wave-functions for the particle. It is not necessary to normalize the wave-functions. (5) (d) The following equations relate to the tunnel effect E V2m(U - E) -2kL 1- 2167(1-5). -22 . Ti Briefly explain this effect. Make use of a diagram where necessary. Explain why this effect is not observed for macroscopic objects. (5)
