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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)In terms of the provided quantities, slit separation isd=hmv

(b)The number of electrons per second in a particular area for slit 2 can be either 16 electrons per second or 256 electrons per second.

(c)With both slits open, a signal was caught at the central detectoris either 196 or 676 electrons per second.

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

The special difference between constructive and destructive interference is that when the displacements of the waves that meet are in the same direction, whereas destructive interference occurs when displacements of the waves that meet are in the opposite directions.

02

Find Slit Separation.

(a)

We may find the slit separation in terms of the provided quantities by using the double-slit interference relation (m and v)

诲蝉颈苍(胃)=(n+12)

位=hp

d=(n+12)h蝉颈苍(胃)辫

苍=0,鈥塻颈苍(30)=12,鈥塸=尘惫

d=hmv

03

Calculation of the counts for the slit 2

Let's look at the data in the problem: 100 electrons per second are observed with slit one alone open (the corresponding wave is.1)However, with slit two open, 36 electrons per second are detected at the first minimum (the corresponding wave is2). When the two waves destructively interfere with each other, this minimum occurs(1-蠄2)

|1|2100|1|10

and

|D|236|D|6

For destructive interference, we can write,

|D||1||2||2||D|+|1||2|106

|2'|2(16)2256

|2''|2(4)216

The number of electrons per second in a particular area for slit 2 can be either 16 electrons per second or 256 electrons per second.

04

Center Detector

The constructive interference means the addition of the two-slit wave functions together. As we already have the amplitude of each wave we can directly find the total number of electrons detected per second in a given area for each case of part b).

Therefore, considering both possibilities discussed in part (b), we can write,

Results

(a)In terms of the provided quantities, slit separation isd=hmv

(b) The number of electrons per second in a particular area for slit 2 can be either 16 electrons per second or 256 electrons per second.

(c) With both slits open, a signal was caught at the central detector is either 196 or 676 electrons per second.

Question: A classmate studies Figures 12 and 17, then claims that when a spot appears, its location simultaneously establishes the particle鈥檚 -component of momentum, according to the angle from center, and its position (i.e., at the spot). How do you answer this claim?

Because we have found no way to formulate quantum mechanics based on a single real wave function, we have a choice to make. In Section 4.3,it is said that our choice of using complex numbers is a conventional one. Show that the free-particle Schrodinger equation (4.8) is equivalent to two real equations involving two real functions, as follows:

-221(x,t)m=2(x,t)tand

-222(x,t)m=1(x,t)t

where (x,t)is by definition 1(x,t)+i2(x,t). How is the complex approach chosen in Section4.3more convenient than the alternative posed here?

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)
