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)
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.
Calculate the wavelength corresponding to an electron with the energy of 94 eV (kiloelectronvolt). Give your answer in Angstrom (10-10 m, for example, if the answer is 1.6x10-10 m, then write 1.6 as your answer). This should give you a good idea why one can use a crystal lattice with an average interatomic distance of around 10-10 m to observe electron diffraction.

- 5.3. A material of simple tetragonal Bravais lattice (a = 2.4 Å, c = 3.6 Å) is prepared in a plate shape so that the sample surface is parallel to (001). When the sample was symmetrically scanned in the 20 range from 20° to 100° using an X-ray beam at 1.54 Å, at which 20 positions will the diffraction peaks be observed? How will the diffraction pattern change if the sample is replaced by a crystal of body-centered tetragonal lattice? Assume that all the other condi- tions are the same.arrow_forwarda)Suppose a hydrogen molecule in its ground state is dissociated by absorbing a photon of ultraviolet light, causing the two hydrogen atoms to fly apart.

Here is the question: 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. Electron speed is 4.63e+05 m/s and the de Broglis wavelength of the electrons is 1.57 nm. What is the angle between the two second-order maxima in the resulting interference pattern.

- Problem 3. A Fabry-Perot laser cavity is made of two identical mirrors. Each miror has an optical power reflectance R=0.999. The distance between the two mirrors is d=10 cm. The laser cavity is filled a gas material as the gain medium with an index of refraction n=1.05. (a) What is the photon life time of this laser cavity? (b) In order to make a laser using this cavity, you need to pump the gain medium to have a gain for compensating the losses at two mirrors. What is the threshold gain coefficient for this laser?arrow_forwardYou 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, 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. For the first order Bragg diffraction, which of the three sample will give the smallest Bragg angle on the plan (111)? 2. Explain clearly with some calculations, if there will be higher order reflections on the plan (111) for the three samples.arrow_forward

Answer to 3 significant figures and in scientific notation. Sorry about the two n values, I can either do scientific notation need for the answer or you have to enter the answer without scientific notation. I can't change between them. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer: Answer x10 unitsarrow_forwardQuestion 2. (a) A beam of electrons is accelerated by a voltage of 180 V in a Davisson-Germer experi- ment. The electron beam is incident on the surface of a monocrystalline cobalt crystal oriented at 90° to the beam direction. A second-order beam is observed at 43.5°. What is the interatomic spacing of atoms in the cobalt crystal lattice? (b) The early experiments of Davisson & Germer used a polycrystalline nickel crystal. Ex- plain why they did not observe evidence for electron diffraction in their initial experi- ments. (c) i. A thermal neutron has an energy of E= 0.025 eV and a mass of 1.675 x 107 kg. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a thermal neutron. ii. On the basis of this result, explain whether it is possible to observe diffraction effects when the neutron is scattered by a cobalt crystal. Suggest a reason why performing neutron diffraction experiments is challenging.arrow_forward
