The speed of light, traveling in a vacuum, will not change if the light source is moving.

The speed of light in vacuum does not depend on whether the light source is moving or not.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

b

\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the person is  m =  180 \  kg

    The speed of the person is  v  =  1 \  m/s

    The energy of the proton is  E_ p =  5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV  = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \  J

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }

Here  h is the Planck constant with the value

      h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

So  

     \lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180  * 1  }

=> \lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

         E_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *   m_p  *  v^2_p

Here m_p  is the mass of proton with value  m_p  =  1.67 *10^{-27} \  kg

=>     8.0*10^{-13} =  \frac{1}{2}  *   1.67 *10^{-27}  *  v^2

=>   v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }

=>   v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \  m/s

So

        \lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }

so    \lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }

=>     \lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg
