Spectra of stars often show narrow absorption lines from interstellar matter. What type of interstellar matter produces these?
A) dust B) neutral gas C) ionized gas D) molecules E) All of the above.
When counting particle-in-a-box quantum states in three dimensions, why do we divide the “volume” of only one eighth of a full spherical shell by the “volume” per quantum state? Why not the full shell’s volume?
A. Molecules in a gas can only have positive momentum components. B. A single quantum energy state embraces both positive and negative values for each momentum component. C. A particle’s momentum magnitude must be positive. D. The factor of 2 in the expression h/2L already counts both possible momentum signs. E. We really do include the full shell: the diagram only shows 1/8 of the shell to make it easier to draw. F. Some other reason (specify).
