Chapter 39: Q.29 (page 1138)

Consider a single-slit diffraction experiment using electrons. Using Figure 39.5 as a model, draw

a. A dot picture showing the arrival positions of the first 40or 50electrons.

b. A graph of 蠄x2for the electrons on the detection screen.

c. A graph of 蠄xfor the electrons. Keep in mind that 蠄, as a wave-like function, oscillates between positive and negative.

Andrea, whose mass is 50kg, thinks she鈥檚 sitting at rest in her 5.0mlong dorm room as she does her physics homework. Can Andrea be sure she鈥檚 at rest? If not, within what range is her velocity likely to be?

What minimum bandwidth is needed to transmit a pulse that consists of 100 cycles of a 1.00MHzoscillation?

Heavy nuclei often undergo alpha decay in which they emit an alpha particle (i.e., a helium nucleus). Alpha particles are so tightly bound together that it's reasonable to think of an alpha particle as a single unit within the nucleus from which it is emitted.

a. A238Unucleus, which decays by alpha emission, is 15fmin diameter. Model an alpha particle within U238nucleus as being in a onc-dimensional box. What is the maximum specd an alpha particle is likely to have?

b. The probability that a nucleus will undergo alpha decay is proportional to the frequency with which the alpha particle reflects from the walls of the nucleus. What is that frequency (reflections/s) for a maximum-speed alpha particle within a U238nucleus?

Soot particles, from incomplete combustion in diesel engines, are typically 15nmin diameter and have a density of 1200kg/m3. FIGURE P39.45 shows soot particles released from rest, in vacuum, just above a thin plate with a 0.50-渭m-diameter holeroughly the wavelength of visible light. After passing through the hole, the particles fall distance d and land on a detector. If soot particles were purely classical, they would fall straight down and, ideally, all land in a 0.50-渭m-diameter circle. Allowing for some experimental imperfections, any quantum effects would be noticeable if the circle diameter were 2000nm. How far would the particles have to fall to fill a circle of this diameter?

What is the value of the constant a in FIGURE Q39.5?
