- Question in the AttachmentsThere are two parts, thank you.arrow_forwardAn electron beam is shot through 2 thin slits with spacing 4.000 x 10-6 m and land on a detector 2.50 m away. The detector is 1.00 cm wide. You observe that the spacing of interference fringes is 8.25 x 10-6 m. (a) What is the wavelength of the electrons? (b) What is the momentum of the electrons? (c) What is the uncertainty in the momentum? (Hint: assume that the uncertainty in position is the width of the detector.)arrow_forwardLearning Goal: To understand how to find the wavelength and diffraction patterns of electrons. An electron beam is incident on a single slit of width a. The electron beam was generated using a potential difference of magnitude V. After passing through the slit, the diffracted electrons are collected on a screen that is a distance L away from the slit. Assume that V is small enough so that the electrons are nonrelativistic. Ultimately, you will find the width of the central maximum for the diffraction pattern. Part A In any diffraction problem, the wavelength of the waves is important. To find the wavelength of electrons, you can use the de Broglie relation λ =, but you first must find the momentum of one of the electrons. The electrons are accelerated through a potential difference V. Use this information to find the momentum p of the electrons. Express your answer in terms of the mass of an electron me, the magnitude of the charge on an electron e, and V. ► View Available Hint(s) p=…arrow_forward
- A crystal has regularly spaced atoms that can act like a diffraction grating (which has many evenly spaced slits). Diffraction patterns form when the wavelength of a photon is similar in size to the spacing between atoms. Consider a crystal where the atomic spacing is 0.23 nm, and a photon of wavelength equal to this spacing. What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is such a photon? O infrared Ovisible light O ultraviolet Ox-ray gamma ray What is the momentum of this photon? Pph = kg-m/s Note that you will need to use exponential notation for your answer. Express it using "E": 1.23 x1024 is entered as 1.23E24. Particles such as electrons can act like waves just as photons do. In fact, they can be diffracted in just the same way by a crystal. What momentum would an electron have if its wavelength equals that of the photon (per the previous answer)? kg-m/s (Use exponential notation as above) What is the velocity that such an electron would have?
