Question
Chapter 38, Problem 37A
To determine
Whether the wavelength of moving matter is not noticed in ordinary experience due to either extraordinary large size or extraordinary small size of the wavelength.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The wavelength of the object varies inversely with momentum of the object. The momentum depends on the mass and speed of the object, so the wavelength of the object also vary with the variation in the mass and speed of the object.
The mass of the object in our daily life is very large than the molecular particles, so the wavelength of the object become too small to measure. The wavelength of the object become extraordinarily small, so it become difficult to notice the wavelength of moving matter.
Conclusion:
The wavelength of moving matter cannot noticed due to extraordinarily small size of the wavelength compared to size of the matter.

In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of the plano-convex field flattener? (p written as rho )arrow_forward
