Question
Chapter 39, Problem 39.90PP
To determine
Why it is easier to use helium ions as compared to neutral helium atoms in such a microscope from the following options:
(a) Helium atoms are not electrically charged, and only electrically charged particles have wave properties.
(b) Helium atoms form molecules, which are too large to have wave properties.
(c) Neutral helium atoms are more difficult to focus with electric and magnetic fields.
(d) Helium atoms have much larger mass than helium ions do and thus are more difficult to accelerate.

For a sharp image, the wavelength of the probing wave must be 5.0 nm or less.

Why don't we simply use short-wavelength electromagnetic waves? There's a problem with this approach: As the wavelength gets shorter, the energy of a photon of light gets greater and could damage or destroy the object being studied.

She wants to demonstrate to her students the buildup of the interference pattern for single electrons passing through a double slit, as shown. 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 = 1.00 cm (perpendicular to the barrier containing the slits) as they approach the slit. She asks you todetermine the maximum value for the beam current that will assure that only one electron at a time passes through the slits.arrow_forwardA beam of X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a CuKa radiation of wavelength, λ = 1.541 Å, falls on a powder of three samples (A, B and C) which crystallized in the following crystal structure: sample A: body center cubic (BCC) with lattice parameter a = 4 Å; sample B: tetragonal, with lattice parameters a = b = 4 Å and c = 6 Å and sample C: orthorhombic, with lattice parameters a = 4 Å, b = 6Å and c = 8 Å. 1.
