A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr

ons and the protons have the same speed. Which one of the following correctly describes the beam that experiences the greatest amount of diffraction?
(a) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength
(c) The protons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(d) The protons, because they have the larger momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(e) Both beams experience the same amount of diffraction, because the electrons and protons have the same de Broglie wavelength.

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.

Two identical speakers are emitting a constant tone that has a wavelength of 0.50 m. Speaker A is located to the left of speaker
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a) and c).

Explanation:

For a complete destructive interference occur, it must be met the following condition relating the wavelength, and the difference in the paths taken by the sound emitted by the sources until arriving to the listening point:

d = |dA- dB| = (2n-1)*(λ/2)

For n= 1,  d = λ/2 = 0.25 m, it doesn't meet any of the cases.

For n=2, d= 3*(λ/2) = 0.75 m

In the case a) we have dA = 2.15 m and dB = 3.00 m, so dB-dA = 0.75 m, which means that in the location stated by case a) a complete destructive interference would occur.

For n=3, d= 5*(λ/2) = 5*0.25 m = 1.25 m.

This is just the case c) because we have dA = 3.75 m and dB = 2.50 m, so dA-dB = 1.25 m, which means that in the location stated by case c) a complete destructive interference would occur also.

The remaining cases don't meet the condition stated above, so the statements found to be true are a) and c),

The magnitude of the velocity vector of the car is ∣∣v→∣∣ = 78 ft/s. If the vector v→ forms an angle θ = 0.09 rad with the horiz
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

\vec{v} = (77.68~{\rm ft/s})\^i + (7.01~{\rm ft/s})\^j

Explanation:

The x- and y- components of the velocity vector can be written as following:

\vec{v}_x = ||\vec{v}||\cos(\theta)\^i

\vec{v}_y = ||\vec{v}||\sin(\theta)\^j

Since the angle θ and the magnitude of the velocity is given, the vector representation can be written as follows:

\vec{v} = 78\cos(0.09)\^i + 78\sin(0.09)\^j\\\vec{v} = (77.68~{\rm ft/s})\^i + (7.01~{\rm ft/s})\^j
