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 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?

In Exercise 45, the case is made that the position uncertainty for a typical macroscopic object is generally so much smaller than its actual physical dimensions that applying the uncertainty principle would be absurd. Here we gain same idea of how small an object would have鈾 to be before quantum mechanics might rear its head. The density of aluminum is 2.7103kg/m3, is typical of solids and liquids around us. Suppose we could narrow down the velocity of an aluminum sphere to within an uncertainty of1mper decade. How small would it have to be for its position uncertainty to be at least as large as110%of its radius?

The setup depicted in Figure4.6is used in a diffraction experiment using X-rays of0.26鈥塶尘wavelength. Constructive interference is noticed at angles of23.0oand,51.4obut none between. What is the spacingdof atomic planes?

What is the wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 1MeV? Of kinetic energy20eV? (The difference is important for the fission of uranium, as a neutron will be more easily absorbed when its wavelength is very large compared with the dimensions of the wavelength behaves more like a diffuse wave than like a localized particle)

The Moon orbits Earth at a radius of 3.84脳108m. To do so as a classical particle. Its wavelength should be small. But small relative to what? Being a rough measure of the region where it is confined, the orbit radius is certainly a relevant dimension against which to compare the wavelength. Compare the two. Does the Moon indeed orbit as a classical particle? (localid="1659095974931" mEarth=5.98脳1024kgand mmoon=7.35脳1022kg)
