A single beam of electrons shines on a single slit of width 8.7nm. A diffraction pattern (of electrons!) is formed on a screen that is 3.9m away from the slit. The distance between the central bright spot and the first minimum is 5.7cm.What is the kinetic energy (keV, i.e. kilo electron-Volts) of the electrons?Make use of the small angle approximation.
A CD-ROM is used instead of a crystal in an electron diffraction experiment. The surface of the CD-ROM has tracks of tiny pits with a uniform spacing of 1.60 mm. (a) If the speed of the electrons is 1.26 X 104 m/s, at which values of q will the m = 1 and m = 2 intensity maxima appear? (b) The scattered electrons in these maxima strike at normal incidence a piece of photographic film that is 50.0 cm from the CD-ROM. What is the spacing on the film between these maxima?
After learning about de Broglie's hypothesis that material particles of momentum p move as waves with
wavelength = h/p, an 80.0-kg student has grown concerned about being diffracted when passing through a
75.0-cmwide doorway. Assume significant diffraction occurs when the width of the diffraction aperture is
less that 10.0 times the wavelength of the wave being diffracted. (a) Determine the maximum speed at
which the student can pass through the doorway if he is to be significantly diffracted. (b) With that speed,
over what time interval does the student pass through the doorway if it is in a wall 15.0 cm thick? State how
your answer compares with the age of the Universe, which is about 4 x 10¹7 s.
