Nonrelativistically, the energyEof a free massive particle is just kinetic energy, and its momentumis. of course,mv. Combining these with fundamental relationships (4-4) and (4-5), derive a formula relating (a) particle momentumto matter-wave frequency fand (b) particle energyEto the wavelengthλof a matter wave.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The derivative formula by relating particle momentum to matter-wave frequency is p=2mhf.

b) The derivative formula by relating particle energy to the wavelength of a matter wave is E=h22³¾Î»2

Step by step solution

01

Relation of wave-particle momentum and energy.

The following equations describe the fundamental wave-particle momentum andenergy relationships, respectively.

p=hλ…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦(1)

E=hf……………….. (2)

02

Relationship between momentum and frequency.

The relationship between momentum and frequency is described by an equation.

The energy can be expressed asE=p22m

Putting this expression and equation(2), we have:

E=p22m

E=hf

p22m=hf

03

Derivative equation for  

(a)

The equation forpis then as follows:

p22m=hf

p2=2mhf

p=2mhf

As a result, the equation for momentum and frequency is p=2mhf.

04

Relation between energy and wavelength.

After that, we create an equation that connects energy and wavelength.

We know that,E=p22m.

Now, relate this to the equation (1), then the equation is as follows:

E=p22m

p=hλ

.

05

Derivative equation for energy-wavelength(b)

The equation forEis then as follows:

E=h22³¾Î»2

As a result, the energy-wavelength equation is E=h22³¾Î»2

(a) Experiment X is carried out nine times identically, and the value 5is obtained all nine times. Calculate the mean by definition (4-12). Then the standard deviation by definition (4-13). (b) Experiment Yis carried out nine times identically, and the integers 1 through 9 are each obtained once. Repeat the calculations of part (a) for this experiment. (c) For nine repetitions of the experimentZ.The tally is that 1, 5, and 9 are each obtained three times. Repeat the calculations. (d) Explain any differences between the results in parts (b) and (c). Is standard deviation a reasonable measure of spread?

According to the energy-time uncertainty principle, the lifetime∆lof a state and the uncertainty∆Ein its energy are invertible proportional. Hydrogen's red spectral line is the result of an electron making a transition "downward" frum a quantum state whose lifetime is about10-8s.

(a) What inherent uncertainty in the energy of the emitted person does this imply? (Note: Unfortunately. we might use the symbol for the energy difference-i.e., the energy of the photon-but here it means the uncertainly in that energy difference.)

(b) To what range in wavelength s does this correspond? (As noted in Exercise 2.57. the uncertainty principle is one contributor to the broadening of spectral lines.)

(c) Obtain a general formula relating ∆λto∆t.

If a laser pulse is of short enough duration, it becomes rather superfluous to refer to its specific color. How short a duration must a light pulse be for its range of frequencies to cover the entire visible spectrum? (The visible spectrum covers frequencies of -4.5to7.5×1014Hz.)

Experiments effectively equivalent to the electron double slit have been conducted in different, novel ways, producing obvious maxima and minima. Often the point is stressed that the intensity is extremely low. Why is this fact emphasized so much? How low is low enough to make the point?

A visual inspection of an ant of mass 0.5 mg verifies that it to within an uncertainty of 0.7μmof a given point, apparently stationary. How fast might the ant actually be moving?
