Electrons are accelerated through a 20 V potential difference producing a monoenergetic beam. This is directed at a double-slit apparatus of 0.010 mm slit separation. A bank of electron detectors is 10 m beyond the double slit. With slit 1 alone open, 100 electrons per second are detected at all detectors. With slit 2 alone open, 900 electrons per second are detected at all detectors. Now both slits are open.

(a) The first minimum in the electron count occurs at detector X. How far is it from the center of the interference pattern?

(b) How many electrons per second will be detected at the center detector?

(c) How many electrons per second will be detected at detector X?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

Center of the interference pattern0.14mm

(b)

For the constructive interference square amplitude at the center detector, X is|T|21600, which means 1600 electrons per second.

(c)

For the destructive interference square amplitude at the center detector is X|D|2400, which means 900 electrons per second.

Step 2:Concept Introduction

We know that when a charged particle of charge q and mass m is accelerated with a potential, V, the kinetic energy(12mv2)can be expressed as,

qV=12mv2鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌(1)

and that the velocity, v, is proportional to the wavelength using the de Broglie formula.

v=pm=h尘位鈥︹赌︹赌..鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌(2)

03

Calculations for λ

We need to eliminate v by using the equations (1) and (2) to find the wavelengthof the electron.

First, we must describe both equations in terms of v2, such that

2qVm=v2

v2=h2m22

Then, we combine both equations.

2qVm=h2m22

2qV=h2尘位2

Lastly, we isolate

位=h2qVm鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌..(3)

Now, substitute the given parameters in equation (3) to obtain the wavelength of the electron,

=6.6310-34Js2(1.610-19C)(20鈥塚)(9.110-31kg)=2.7510-10m

Thus the wavelength of the electron is2.75脳10-10鈥尘

04

Interference equation.

(a)

Using the constructive interference equation, we get,

尘位=诲sin(胃)

Using sine law, we get,

12位=诲yD

Hence, substituting the given information in the above equation, we get,

y=D2d=102(10-5m)(2.7510-10m)=0.14mm

Hence, the distance of the first minimum from the center is0.14mm

05

Constructive interference.

(b)

To determine how many electrons per second are at the center of the detector, we solve using constructive interference.

For slit 1,

|1|2100|1|10鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌..(4)

For slit 2,

|2|2900|2|30鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌.(5)

Therefore, combining equations (4) and (5) for the constructive interference, we get the output of

|T||1|+|2|10+3040

Therefore,

|T|21600

06

Destructive Interference.

(c)

To determine how many electrons per second are at detector X, we use equations (4) and (5) for the destructive interference, such that,

|D||2||1|301020

Therefore,

|D|2400
