A monoenergetic beam of electrons is incident on a single slit of width 0.500 nm. A diffraction pattern is formed on a screen 25

.0 cm from the slit.
If the distance between successive minima of the diffraction pattern is 2.10 cm, what is the energy of the incident electrons?

Answer:

KE=1.366×10⁻¹⁶J or

KE=854ev

Explanation:

single slit diffraction pattern occur where sinФ=mλ/a for m=±1,±2,±3,.......

Here λ is wavelength

The spacing between successive minima is then

Δy=y_{m+1}-y_{m}

Δy=λ(L/a)

as given Δy=2.10cm, L=25cm and a=0.500nm

so for λ

λ=Δy(a/L)

 =(2.10*10^{-2}m )(\frac{(0.500*10^{-9}m)}{25*10^{-2}m} )

λ=4.2×10⁻¹¹m

The momentum of one of these electrons is then

p=h/λ

p=\frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{4.2*10^{-11}}\\ p=1.578*10^{-23}kgm/s

Assuming the electron is non-relativistic, its kinetic energy is

KE=p^{2}/2m_{e}\\  KE=\frac{(1.578*10^{-23} )^{2} }{2(9.11*10^{-31})}\\ KE=1.366*10^{-16}J

Convert joules into electronvolt we get

KE=854ev

Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

F_1=2k\times d

case 2:

F_2=2k\times 2d

therefore, \frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Ad libitum [116K]

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)

A man performed 500 j of work moving a couch in his living room
Sergio039 [100]

Incomplete question. Missing part:

"it took him 10 seconds to move the couch. What was his power?"

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

The power developed is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken

In this problem,

W = 500 J

t = 10.0 s

Substituting into the equation, we find

P=\frac{500}{10}=50 W
