Answer:
<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
momentum of the electron before relativistic effect =
where is the rest mass of the electron
V is the velocity of the electron.
under relativistic effect, the mass increases.
under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be
M =
where
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
V is the speed with which the electron travels.
The new momentum will therefore be
==>
It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have
1.75 =
the equation reduces to
1.75 =
square both sides of the equation, we have
3.0625 = 1/
3.0625 - 3.0625 = 1
2.0625 = 3.0625
= 0.67
β = 0.819
substitute for
V/c = 0.819
V = c x 0.819
V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>
