(796) Problem 22: Consider electrons incident on a double slit apparatus. You observe that they form the same pattern as 475-nm light on the screen behind the slits. 25% Part (a) Calculate the velocity, in meters per second, of the electrons.

Explanation / Answer

(a) wavelength = h / p

475 x 10^-9 = (6.626 x 10^-34) / (9.109 x 10^-31 v)

v= 1531.4 m/s

(b) E = h c / wavelength

E = (6.626 x 10^-34) (3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)

E = 4.185 x 10^-19 J  

(C) KE = m v^2 /2

= 1.068 x 10^-24 J  

(D) ratio = (4.185 x 10^-19) / (1.068 x 10^-24)

= 4 x 10^5
