Physics 222 Final Exam Questions

1. This document contains an 8 question physics final exam covering topics like kinetic energy, energy levels in quantum wells, magnetic quantum numbers, nuclear reactions, photoelectric effect, de Broglie wavelengths, and particle probabilities in an infinite square well. 2. Question 5 asks the student to calculate the speed of a proton with the same kinetic energy as an electron moving at 0.75c. 3. Question 6 involves calculating the work function of a metal by using the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons ejected by light sources of different wavelengths.
