This is a LOT of homework - do all of it all of it all of it by Wednesday lunch. I won't accept any work after Wed. lunch. I'll check all the homework after lunch and if anything is missing, then you'll have to stay after! Good luck *mwah-ha-ha-ha* ;)
1) Bring your almanac to school on Wed.
2) Since no one's done it yet...
Go back to your "What I Will Do" (yes, I know, your absolute favorites!) sheet (which you sent me last week) and highlight in red any of the things you said you'd do this week but didn't. Email me by Sunday night.
3) Become a follower of the blog
Once you become a follower make a comment on this post "I worship the physics blog" - this way I can keep tabs on when you check the blog and start the homework ;)
4) Complete the entire Atomic Phys Sci readings (4 documents). Write a page of "review" notes over the entire Atomic Phys chapter (in addition to the previously assigned 4 pages of notes - see hw due Monday).
Your review notes should summarize all the ideas in the chapter and explain how they relate to each other. It's a sheet on which you can clarify the concepts in your head and make sense of all of them.
5) Do the following multiple-choice sums assigned to each of you at the end of the Atomic Phys chapter (document 4). Write a sentence or two (or show calculations) explaining how you got the answer for each sum.
Aman - 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29
Riya - 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30
Divya - 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31
Deshal - 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28
6) Read "The Mighty Atom 3" and take a minimum of a page of notes. Include 5 new vocabulary words and their definitions.
1) Neils Bohr was described as "mild and affable." Explain what that means. (p. 176)
2) What is a landmark paper? (p. 176)
3) The idea of the "quantum leap... kept electrons from spiralling catastrophically into the nucleus." Firstly,what does catastrophic mean? Explain why electrons not being allowed to occupy regions outside of set orbits means that they won't spiral into the nucleus. (p. 176)
4) Why were hydrogen's wavelengths "bewildering" to scientists? (p. 176)
5) Explain how neutrons are essential to making atom bombs. (You can look up some info on the internet if you need) (p. 177)
6) Who was Rutherford's predecessor at the Cavendish Laboratory? (p. 177)
7) Neutrons were elusive and long-sought particles (see the picture caption titled "below"). What does this mean? (p. 177)
8) How is the fact that electons sometimes behave like particles and sometimes like waves an "impossible duality"? (p. 178)
9) Explain the following "certain anomalies in the behaviour of electrons disappeared when on thought of them as waves." (p. 178)
10) What is a "deft refinement"? (p. 178)
11) What is an immutable property of the universe? (p. 179)
12) "An electron doesn't exist unless it's observed." How might this statement shed light on the age-old philosophical question - "if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" (p. 179)
13) "The electron... takes on the more amorphous aspect of a cloud." Explain.
14) Scientists encountered "an area of the universe that our brains just aren't wired to understand." What does it mean for our brains to be "wired" to understand something? (p. 180)
