Just like the optical part of the spectrum, radio waves can be described in terms of photons - although they can be very difficult to detect. Consider the photons in radio waves from an FM station that has a 88.3-MHz broadcast frequency. Find the energy in joules of a photon in the radio waves.
Estimate the wavelength and energy (in eV) of a photon with which one can resolve featuresof a sample that are 0.1 nm in size. Assume that in order to resolve a feature, the wavelength mustbe smaller than the size of the feature.(b) Estimate the wavelength and energy (in eV) of an electron with which one can resolve featuresof a sample that are 0.1 nm in size. Again, assume that in order to resolve a feature, thewavelength must be smaller than the size of the feat

Consider an electron with a (non-relativistic) kinetic energy of 1 eV. (i) What is the electron speed in m/s? What is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron? (ii) Consider a beam of 1 eV electrons incident on a pair of very thin slits, separated by a distance d, with an interference pattern seen on a screen 2 m beyond the slits. Find the value of d such that the position of the first off-center bright fringe of the pattern is located 0.5mm from the center of the pattern.
