Separation of interference peaks.
Answer to Problem 56GP
Explanation of Solution
Given info: Mass of proton,
Protons are accelerated from rest across,
Distance,
Length,
Formula used:
From the de Broglie equation of matter the wavelength is
Calculation:
First calculate the wavelength of the proton by using the formula
The peaks of the interference pattern are given as
For small angles
So,
Thus, the separation:
Conclusion:
The required value is
