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.

Electron diffractometers help us understand the structure of matter. Material is covered in an array of parallel nano-scale metal wires with unknown spacing. A beam of electrons, accelerated through a potential of 20.80 kV produces a pattern of electron impacts on a distant screen with a central bright peak with two smaller peaks. The angular position of the smaller peaks is 25.20 degrees relative to the central peak. What is the spacing of the wires? You may treat the electron as non-relativistic. (Answer in meters)
You would like to observe an E. coli bacterium that is 2.15 μm (micrometers) long. Because diffraction blurs an image, you would like to minimize the effects of diffraction by using a wavelength no larger than the object you are observing. For this problem, assume the wavelength is equal to the length of the bacterium.
What is the energy of a photon with this wavelength?
What is the energy of an electron with a de Broglie wavelength of this size?
In terms of energy, which particles, photons or electrons, are the least likely to damage your sensitive biological sample?
electrons?
photons?
they are the same
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.
