10A beam of electrons strikes a barrier with two narrow but equal-width slits. A screen is located beyond the barrier. And electrons are detected as they strike the screen. The "center" of the screen is the point equidistant from the slits. When either slit alone is open,electrons arrive per second in a very small region at the center of the screen. When both slits are open, how many electrons will arrive per second in the same region at the center of the screen?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of electrons when both slits are open n=40.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data.

Number of electrons when one slit is openn1=10/sec

To find the number of electrons when both slits are openn2=?

02

Concept Introduction

The following relationship can be used to describe the probability of detecting a particle in a given region.

probability of finding a particle(amplitude)2鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌.(1)

The number of electrons that can be found in the region every second equals the probability of discovering a particle.

03

Single slit open.

When there is only one slit open, useequation (1), such that

amplitude10鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌.(2)

04

Two slits are open condition.

When two slits are opened at the same time, the amplitude doubles, assuming they are the same size. Therefore, using equation (2), we can write

A=210鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌(3)

Therefore, using the equations (2) and (3), we get,

Thereforen2=40 when the two slits are open condition.

A brag diffraction experiment is conducted using a beam of electrons accelerated through a1.0鈥塳痴potential difference. (a) If the spacing between atomic planes in the crystal is0.1nm, at what angles with respect to the planes will diffraction maximum be observed? (b) If a beam ofX-rays products diffraction maxima at the same angles as the electron beam, what is theX-ray photon energy?

A beam of particles, each of mass m and (nonrelativistic) speed v, strikes a barrier in which there are two narrow slits and beyond which is a bunk of detectors. With slit 1 alone open, 100 particles are detected per second at all detectors. Now slit 2 is also opened. An interference pattern is noted in which the first minimum. 36 particles per second. Occurs at an angle of 30ofrom the initial direction of motion of the beam.

(a) How far apart are the slits?

(b) How many particles would be detected ( at all detectors) per second with slit 2 alone open?

(c) There are multiple answers to part (b). For each, how many particles would be detected at the center detector with both slits open?
