Question: The electronic structure of atoms and molecules may be investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. An electron in a photoelectron spectrometer is accelerated from rest by a uniform electric field to a speed of 420 km s−1 in 10 µs. Determine the kinetic energy of the electron?
An electron entering Thomson’s e/m apparatus has an initial velocity (in horizontal direction only) of 4.0 x 106 m/s. In the lab is a permanent horseshoe magnet of strength 12 mT, which you would like to use. (a) What electric fi eld will you need in order to produce zero defl ection of the electrons as they travel through the apparatus? (b) The length of nonzero E and B fi elds is 2.0 cm. When the magnetic fi eld is turned off, but the same electric field remains, how far in the vertical direction will the electron beam be deflected over this length?magnetic fi eld is turned off, but the same electric fi eld remains, how far in the vertical direction will the electron beam be defl ected over this length
