Question: For the arrangement of Figs. 38-14 and 38-15 , electrons in the incident beam in region 1 have energy E=800eV and the potential step has a height of U1=600eV. What is the angular wave number in (a) region 1 and (b) region 2 ? (c) What is the reflection coefficient? (d) If the incident beam sends 500105electrons against the potential step, approximately how many will be reflected?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The angular wave number of region 1is 1.4510-11m-1.
  2. The angular wave number of region 2is 7.2510-10m-1.
  3. The reflection coefficient is 0.111.
  4. The number of reflected electrons is 5.56104.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identifying the known data

Electron Energy in region 1,E=800eV

Height of potential step, U1=Ub=600eV

Number of electrons sent by electron beam,N0=5.00x105

Planck鈥檚 constant, h=6.62610-34Js

Mass of electron, m=9.110-31kg

The energy,E=8001.610-19J

02

Concept used to solve the question

When a particle's potential energy changes at a boundary, it can reflect even though it would not normally reflect under classical theory.

03

(a) Finding angular wave number of region 1

The angular wave number of the region 1 can be given using the formula,

k=2h2mE

Here, E is the electron energy, m is the mass of the electron, and h is plank constant.

Substituting the values into the formula.

k=23.146.62610-34Js29.110-31kg8001.610-16J=1.4510-11m-1

Hence, the angular wave number of region 1 is 1.451011m-1.

04

(b) Finding angular wave number of region 2:

The angular wave number of the region 2 can be given using the formula

k=2h2mE-Ub

Here, E is the electron energy, m is the mass of the electron, h is plank constant, and Ub is the potential energy or potential step.

Substituting the values into the formula,

kb=23.146.62610-34Js29.110-31kg800-6001.610-16J=7.251010m-1

Hence the angular wave number of region 2 is7.251010m-1 .

05

(c) Finding the reflection coefficient

The wave function for region 1 can be given as

1x=Aeikx+Be-ikx

The wave function for region 2 can be given as

2x=Ceikbx

By using the boundary condition, we have two equations

A+B=C........1 localid="1663142091494" Ak-Bk=Ckb.......(2)

As already calculated

k=1.451011m-1kb=7.251010m-1

Substituting the values of wave number in equation (2).

A1.451011m-1+B1.451011m-1=C7.251010m-12A-2B=C.........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

BA=13

The reflection coefficient is

R=B2A2=132=19=0.111

Thus, the reflection coefficient is 0.111.

06

(d) Finding the number of reflected electrons

The number of reflected electrons can be given by the formula

NR=RN0

Here, NRis the number of reflected electrons, R is the reflection coefficient, and N0is the incident electrons.

Substituting the values into the formula

NR=195.00105=5.56104

Hence, the number of reflected electrons is 5.56104.
