Chapter 6: Q5E (page 1314)

An electron is moving with a speed of 8.00 x 106 m/s. What is the speed of a proton that has the same de Broglie wavelength as this electron?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The wavelength of alpha-particle is 7.01 femtometer.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

According to de Broglie, Light has dual nature as in some situations it behaves like waves and in others like particles. Electrons, which sometimes exhibits particle nature may also behave like wave in some situations.

When a particle acts like a wave, it carries a wavelength which is known as de Broglie wavelength.

02

Velocity of proton

Speed of electron, V = 8 x 106 m/s

Mass of electron, me = 9.11 x 10-31 Kg

Mass of proton, mp = 1.67 x 10-27 Kg

De Broglie wavelength is given by

位e=hp=hmeve=6.626*10-34Js9.11*108Kg8*106m/s=9.09*10-11m

The velocity proton is given by

位e=位p位e=hpp位e=hmpvpvp=hmp位e=6.626*10-34Js1.67*10-27Kg9.09*10-11m/s=4.36*103m

Therefore, the velocity of proton is 4.36 x 103 m/s.

In Fig. 40.12b, the probability function is zero at the points x= 0 and x= L, the 鈥渨alls鈥� of the box. Does this mean that the particle never strikes the walls? Explain.

The theory of relativity sets an upper limit on the speed that a particle can have. Are there also limits on the energy and momentum of a particle? Explain.

As stars age, they use up their supply of hydrogen and eventually begin producing energy by a reaction that involves the fusion of three helium nuclei to form a carbon nucleus. Would you expect the interiors of these old stars to be hotter or cooler than the interiors of younger stars? Explain.

According to the photon model, light carries its energy in packets called quanta or photons. Why then don鈥檛 we see a series of flashes when we look at things?

Ionic crystals are often transparent, whereas metallic crystals are always opaque. Why?
