A Ferrari with a mass of 1400 kg approaches a freewayunderpass that is 12 m across. At what speed must the carbe moving, in order for it to have a wavelength such thatit might somehow “diffract” after passing through this“single slit”? How do these conditions compare to normalfreeway speeds of 30 m/s?
Integrated ConceptsWhat double-slit separation would produce a first-order maximum at 3.00o for 25.0-keV x rays? The small answer indicates that the wave character of x rays is best determined by having them interact with very small objects such as atoms and molecules.
Electrons go through a single slit 300 nm wide and strikea screen 25.0 cm away. At angles of +-20.0° from the center of the diffractionpattern, no electrons hit the screen, but electrons hit at all pointscloser to the center. (a) How fast were these electrons moving whenthey went through the slit? (b) What will be the next pair of larger anglesat which no electrons hit the screen?
