Students have asked these similar questions
Electrons with an energy of 0.610 eV are incident on a double slit in which the two slits are separated by 60.0 nm.
a) What is the de Broglie wavelength (in nanometers) of these electrons?
b) What is the angle between the two second-order maxima in the resulting interference pattern?
I really appreciate the help on this question. I've been stumped on it.
This question is modern physics from the waves and particles chapter:
An electron beam strikes a barrier with a single narrow slit, and the electron flux – number of electrons per unit time per unit area – detected at the very center of the resulting intensity pattern is F_1. Next, two more identical slits are opened equidistant on either side of the first and equally “illuminated” by the beam. What wil be the flux at the very center now? Does your answer imply that ore than three times as many electrons pass through three slits than through one? Why or why not?
Could an experiment involving electron diffraction be conducted with three or four slits? Employing a grating with several slits? What type of outcomes might you anticipate with a grating? Would this violate the uncertainty principle? Explain.

- Question in the AttachmentsThere are two parts, thank you.arrow_forwardA beam of electrons strikes a double slit, with the slit separation of 102 nm. The first-order diffraction maximum is seen at an angle of 5 degrees away from the beam's direction. What was the speed of the electrons? (Hint: First determine the wavelength of the electrons using the double-slit interference equations from the optics unit. Then use that to determine the speed of the electron.)arrow_forwardQuestion in imagesarrow_forward

- You are working as a demonstration assistant for a physics professor. She wants to demonstrate to her students the buildup of the interference pattern for single electrons passing through a double slit. Her source of electrons will be a certain vacuum tube, in which electrons evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow, steady rate and accelerate from rest through a potential difference of 45.0 V. After being accelerated, they travel through a fieldfree and evacuated region before they pass through the double slits and fall on a screen to produce an interference pattern. To ensure that only one electron at a time is passing through the slits, she wants the electrons to be separated in space by d 5 1.00 cm (perpendicular to the barrier containing the slits) as they approach the slit. She asks you to determine the maximum value for the beam current that will assure that only one electron at a time passes through the slits.arrow_forwardIn the experiment by Jönsson, 50-keV electrons impinged on slits of width 500 nm separated by a distance of 2000 nm. The observation screen was located 350 mm beyond the slits. What was the distance between the first two maxima?arrow_forwardA beam of electrons is accelerated from rest and then passes through a pair of identical thin slits that are 1.25 nm apart. You observe that the first double-slit interference dark fringe occurs at +-18.0 from the original direction of the beam when viewed on a distant screen. (a) Are these electrons relativistic? How do you know? (b) Through what potential difference were the electrons accelerated?arrow_forward
- Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.arrow_forwardYou are working as a demonstration assistant for a physics professor.

The electrons are moving with a speed of 7.357.35km/s. When they hit the screen, located at distance 1.57m away, the distribution of hitting positions makes a pattern with a central peak and minima on either side. What is the width of the central peak (equivalently, distance between the minima on either side)? The mass of an electron is 9.11×10^−31 kg.arrow_forward
