One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. this planet has been found to have 2.3 times the earth's diameter and 7.9 times the earth's mass. observations of this planet over time show that it is in a nearly circular orbit around its star and completes one orbit in only 9.5 days. how many times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun. assume that the earth is also in a nearly circular orbit.
a.) 0.026r
b.) 0.078r
c.) 0.70r
d,) 2.3r

The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is often approximated by a square well. imagine a proton conned in an innite square well of length 105 nm, a typical nuclear diameter. calculate the wavelength and energy associated with the photon that is emitted when the proton undergoes a transition from the rst excited state (n 2) to the ground state (n 1). in what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength belong?
