QUESTION 9
7. A single pill, Isotope of Iodine \({ }^{131}\) I produces \(9.6 \times 10^{14}\) iodine, \({ }^{131} \mathrm{I}\) atom, and it has a halflife of 8 days. How many of \(^{131}\) I the atoms remain, as multiple of \(10^{7}\), after 200 days from production of the pill?
QUESTION 10
1) A electron is confined in one dimensional atomic box of length, where \(L=5^{*} 10^{-10}\) meters. The energy levels are set as energies of particle in the box. \(\left(m_{e}=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}, h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \cdot \mathrm{s}\right.\), 1E.V \(=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}\) Joules)
What is the ground state \((n=1\), the first energy state) of this electron in electron volt in two significant figure, or one decimal unit?(Hint: solve the energy in joules and convert to electron volt.)
ANSWER

The half-life of iodine-131 ( 131 I ) , an isotope used in the treatment of thyroid disorders, is 8.04 days. If a sample of iodine-131 contains 4.10 × 10 16 nuclei, what is the activity of the sample? Express your answer in curies. Ci
ii. Iodine-131 is a beta-emitting isotope used for treating thyroid cancer. Figure 2 shows a plot of the radioactive decay of l-131. Use Figure 2 to work out the half-life of I-131 by considering two consecutive half-lives for the isotope. Show your calculations.

(25 marks) The one-dimensional infinite potential well can be generalized to three dimensions. The allowed energies for a particle of mass \(m\) in a cubic box of side \(L\) are given by$$ E_{n_{p} n_{r, n_{i}}}=\frac{\pi^{2} \hbar^{2}}{2 m L^{2}}\left(n_{x}^{2}+n_{y}^{2}+n_{z}^{2}\right) \quad\left(n_{x}=1,2, \ldots ; n_{y}=1,2, \ldots ; n_{z}=1,2, \ldots\right) $$(a) If we put four electrons inside the box, what is the ground-state energy of the system? Here the ground-state energy is defined to be the minimum energy of the system of electrons. You...
