Chapter 38: Q. 16 (page 1114)

At what speed is an electron's de Broglie wavelength (a) $1.0 pm$ , (b) $1.0 nm$ , (c) $1.0 渭 m$ , and (d) $1.0 mm$ ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) $v = 7.27 脳 10^{8} m / s$

(b) $v = 2.77 脳 10^{8} m / s$

(d) $v = 0.727 m / s$

Step by step solution

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

The electron's de Broglie wave length is $1.0 p m$

Part(a) Step 2: Calculation

We can start the solution with expression for de-Broglie wavelength

$位 = \frac{h}{m v} v = \frac{h}{m 位} v = \frac{6.63 脳 10^{- 34}}{(9.11 脳 10^{- 31}) (1 脳 10^{- 12})} v = 7.27 脳 10^{8} m / s$

This speed is larger than speed of light, so we must calculate relativistic speed:

$位 = \frac{h}{p} p = 纬 m v \frac{h}{位} = 纬 m v 纬 = \frac{1}{\frac{h}{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}} \frac{h}{位} (1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}} m v^{2} \frac{h^{2}}{位^{2}} = v^{2} (m^{2} + \frac{h^{2}}{位^{2} c^{2}}) v = \frac{h}{位路 \sqrt{(m^{2} + \frac{h^{2}}{位^{2} c^{2}})}} v = 2.77 脳 10^{8} m / s$

Part(b) Step 1: Given Information

The electron's de Broglie wave length is $1.0 n m$

Part(b) Step 2: Calculation

For $位 = 1 脳 10^{- 9}$ we have:

$位 = \frac{h}{m v} v = \frac{h}{m 位} v = \frac{6.63 脳 10^{- 34}}{(9.11 脳 10^{- 31}) (1 脳 10^{- 9})} v = 7.27 脳 10^{5} m / s$

Part(c) Step 1: Given Information

The electron's de Broglie wave length is $1.0 渭 m$

Part(c) Step 2: Calculation

For $位 = 1 脳 10^{- 6}$ we have:

$v = \frac{h}{m 位} v = \frac{6.63 脳 10^{- 34}}{(9.11 脳 10^{- 31}) (1 脳 10^{- 6})} v = 7.27 脳 10^{2} m / s$

Part(d) Step 1: Given Information

The electron's de Broglie wave length is $1.0 m m$

Part(d) Step 2: Calculation

For $位 = 1 脳 10^{- 3}$ we have:

$v = \frac{h}{m 位} v = \frac{6.63 脳 10^{- 34}}{(9.11 脳 10^{- 31}) (1 脳 10^{- 3})} v = 0.727 m / s$
