You want to use a microscope to study the structure of a mitochondrion about 1.00 um in size. To be able to observe small
details within the mitochondrion, you want to use a wavelength of 0.0500 nm.
If your microscope uses light of this wavelength, what is the
momentum p of a photon?
p =
kg-m/s
If your microscope uses light of this wavelength, what is the
energy E of a photon?
E =
If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie
wavelength, what is the momentum p. of an electron?
Pe =
kg-m/s
If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie
wavelength, what is the velocity v of an electron?
v =
m/s
If instead your microscope uses electrons of this de Broglie
wavelength, what is the kinetic energy K of an electron?
K =
What advantage do your calculations suggest electrons
have compared to photons?
O An electron's charge allows it to attach to observed
particles, whereas a photon's electric neutrality
prevents it from moving close enough to the
observed particles…
