a) In a double-slit experiment, a stream of electrons with speed v = 10 m/s is aimed at two parallel slits. On the screen one meter behind the slits an interference pattern is observed in the number of electrons arriving at different points on the screen. The distance between the first and the second intensity maxima is 1 cm. Find the distance between the slits.
A beam of light or electrons passes through two closely spaced slits to create an interference pattern consisting of fringes. Which of the following statements is true about the relationship between the properties of the beam and the spacing of the interference fringes. a)When the light become more red, the interference fringes become spaced closer together. b)When the light become more blue, the interference fringes become spaced closer together. c)When the energy of the electrons decreases, the interference fringes become spaced closer together. d)When the light become more blue, the interference fringes become spaced further apart.
The width of the central bright fringe in a diffraction pattern on a screen is identical when either electrons or optical light pass through a single slit. The distance between the screen and the slit is the same in each case and is large compared to the slit width. If the wavelength of the optical light is 562 nm, how fast are the electrons moving?

A linear particle accelerator using beta particles collides electrons with their anti-matter counterparts, positrons. The accelerated electron hits the stationary positron with a velocity of 77 x 10° m/s, causing the two particles to annihilate. If two gamma photons are created as a result, calculate the energy of each of these two photons, giving your answer in MeV (mega electron volts), accurate to 1 decimal place. Take the mass of the electron to be 5.486 x 104 u, or 9.109 x 1031 kg. Note: Assume that the kinetic energy is also converted into the gamma rays, and is included in the two photons.
In a double-slit experiment, the fourth maximum ( m = 4) is 2.8 cm from the central maximum on a screen that is 1.4 m away from the slits.

A double-slit experiment is performed with sodium light (λ = 589.0 nm). The slits are separated by 1.05 mm, and the screen is 2.357 m from the slits. Find the separation between adjacent maxima on the screen.
Coherent light is passed through two narrow slits whose separation is 20.0 mm. The second-order bright fringe in the interference pattern is located at an angle of 0.0300 rad. If electrons are used instead of light, what must the kinetic energy (in electron volts) of the electrons be if they are to produce an interference pattern for which the second-order maximum is also at 0.0300 rad?
A beam of electrons moving at a uniform speed of 1617 m/s passes through a pair of vertical thin slits that are 2.1 x 105 m apart directed toward a screen 1.4 m away.

A crystal has regularly spaced atoms that can act like a diffraction grating (which has many evenly spaced slits). Diffraction patterns form when the wavelength of a photon is similar in size to the spacing between atoms. Consider a crystal where the atomic spacing is 0.23 nm, and a photon of wavelength equal to this spacing. What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is such a photon? O infrared Ovisible light O ultraviolet Ox-ray gamma ray What is the momentum of this photon? Pph = kg-m/s Note that you will need to use exponential notation for your answer. Express it using "E": 1.23 x1024 is entered as 1.23E24. Particles such as electrons can act like waves just as photons do. In fact, they can be diffracted in just the same way by a crystal. What momentum would an electron have if its wavelength equals that of the photon (per the previous answer)? kg-m/s (Use exponential notation as above) What is the velocity that such an electron would have?
