0.2 Use Wien’s law: maxT const.; const. hc/5k [Problem 0.1] 2.878 mm K [End paper 1
of text]. Hence
molar heat capacity = 25 J K−1 mole−1 = specific heat capacity × molar mass
giving (a) 2.3 × 105 J, (b) 1.20 × 10−3 J, (c) 9.2 × 108 J.

0.5 Use eqn 0.10: δ 2C sin 2 12
with λC = 2.426 pm and θ = 600. Hence δλ = 1.213 pm and the wavelength of the

Exercise: Examine the case where the ejection speed is so great that it must be treated
relativistically.
