Question: The current of a beam of electrons, each with a speed of 1.200103m/s, is 9.000mA. At one point along its path, the beam

encounters a potential barrier of height 4.719渭痴and thickness 200.0nm. What is the transmitted current?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The transmitted current is1.795mA.

Step by step solution

01

Identifying the data given in the question.

The electron beam speed in region 1,v=1200m/s

The height of the potential stepVb=-4.719渭痴

The electric current l0=9.000mA

The thickness of the energy barrier L=200.0nm

02

Concept used to solve the question

A potential energy barrier is a region where a traveling particle

will have increased potential energy Ub.

The particle can pass through the barrier if its total energyE>Ub.

03

Finding the transmitted current

The electron energy in region 1 can be given as

E=12mv2

Where mis mass and vis speed

E=129.110-31kg1200m/s2=6.5610-25J=4.0995渭别痴

The transmission coefficient of a particle can be given as.

T=e-2bL

Where,Lis the length of the potential barrier.

And bcan be given as,

b=8m2Ub-Eh2

Where the mass of the particle is mand Eis incident energy and Ubis the height of the barrier

Substituting the values for electron particles,

b=829.110-31kg4.719渭别痴-4.0995渭别痴1.610-25J/渭别痴6.62610-34Js=4.0298106m-1

Therefore, the transmission coefficient is

T=exp-24.0928106m-120010-9m=exp-1.612=0.1995

Therefore, the transmission coefficient is T=0.1995

So, the transmitted current is

l=TI0=(0.1995)(9.000A)=1.795mA

Hence the transmitted current is 0.1795mA.

Question: You will find in Chapter 39 that electrons cannot move in definite orbits within atoms, like the planets in our solar system. To see why, let us try to 鈥渙bserve鈥 such an orbiting electron by using a light microscope to measure the electron鈥檚 presumed orbital position with a precision of, say, 10pm(a typical atom has a radius of about localid="1663132292844" 100pm). The wavelength of the light used in the microscope must then be about 10pm. (a) What would be the photon energy of this light? (b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in a head-on collision? (c) What do these results tell you about the possibility of 鈥渧iewing鈥 an atomic electron at two or more points along its presumed orbital path? (Hint:The outer electrons of atomsare bound to the atom by energies of only a few electron-volts.)
