Answer to Problem 99P

The classically predicted speed of electron is 2.965×109m/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Given that the accelerating potential is 25.00MV.

Write the classical expression for the kinetic energy of the electron.

    K=12mv2                                                                                                                 (I)

Here, K is the kinetic energy of the electron, m is the mass of the electron, v is the speed  of the electron.

Write the expression for the kinetic energy of the electron in terms of the accelerating potential.

  K=eΔV                                                                                                                 (II)

Here, e is the charge of the electron, ΔV is the accelerating potential.

Equate the right-hand sides of equation (I) and (II) and solve for v.

    12mv2=eΔVv=2eΔVm                                                                                                   (III)

Conclusion:

Substitute 1.602×1019C for e, 25.00MV for ΔV, and 9.109×1031kg for m in equation (III) to find v.

  v=2(1.602×1019C)(25.00×106V)9.109×1031kg=2(1.602×1019C)(25.00MV×1×106V1MV)9.109×1031kg=2.965×109m/s

Therefore, The classically predicted speed of electron is 2.965×109m/s_.

Answer to Problem 99P

The actual speed of the electron is 2.99×108m/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the relativistic kinetic energy.

    K=(γ1)mc2                                                                                                       (IV)

Here, K is the relativistic kinetic energy, γ is the Lorentz factor, m is the mass of the electron, c is the speed of the light.

Write the expression for the Lorentz factor.

    γ=11v2/c2                                                                                                        (V)

Here, v is the speed of electron, c is the speed of light.

Use equation (V) in equation (IV).

    K=(11v2/c21)mc2                                                                                      (VI)

Use equation (II) in (VI) and solve for v.

    eΔV=(11v2/c21)mc2(1+eΔVmc2)2=11v2/c21v2c2=(1+eΔVmc2)2v=c1(1+eΔVmc2)2                                                                      (VII)

Conclusion:

Substitute 2.99×108m/s for c , 1.602×1019C for e , 25.00MV for ΔV, 9.109×1031kg for m in equation (VI) to find v.

    v=(2.99×108m/s)1(1+(1.602×1019C)(25.00MV)(9.109×1031kg)(2.998×108m/s)2)2=(2.99×108m/s)1(1+(1.602×1019C)(25.00MV×106V1MV)(9.109×1031kg)(2.998×108m/s)2)2=2.99740×108m/s

Therefore, the actual speed of the electron is 2.99×108m/s_.
