Suppose an experiment of the Davisson-Germer variety is done using electrons and compared to another using muons. Muons (symbolized by the Greek letter u) are the electrons' heavier cousins (mu=200me), they are commonly found as remnants of the collisions of high energy particles or as a component of the cosmic rays that the planet Earth is continuously bombarded by. The figure below shows the results of the electron scattering on a phosphorescent screen. Pattern on phosphorescent screen Consider the statement below: "Muons have a higher mass than electrons, but because the energy, E, is related to the wavelength by E=hçÀ, muons that have the same kinetic energy as electrons will also have the same wavelength." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain your reasoning.
