In Davisson and Germer experiment, it was noted that the energy of an electron increases while
entering a crystal, reducing its de-Broglie wavelength. Consider a 54 eV electron beam that is aimed
at a nickel target. An electron that reaches the target increases its potential energy by 26 eV. What
will be the speed and de-Broglic wavelength of clectron inside the nickel target?
(b)
question 3 please
In a spectral line, the simple Zeeman model appears in a
magnetic field. Calculate the sum of the total division in the
wavelength and the number of wavelengths in a magnetic field
with a fluctuation of equal unity.
