Louis de Broglie • p = momentum (p = mv) • h = Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 Js) • = de Broglie wavelength Light is acting as both particle and wave Matter perhaps does also E = hf = hc/ E = mc2 mc2 = hc/ mc = p = h/ TOC

p = momentum (p = mv) • h = Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 Js) • = de Broglie wavelength Example 1: What is the de Broglie wavelength of a .50 kg ball going 40. m/s? p = mv = (.50 kg)(40. m/s) = 20. kg m/s p = h/, = h/p = (6.626 x 10-34 Js)/(20. kg m/s) = 3.31 x 10-35 m Golly - nothing is that small (atoms are 10-10 m) How would you observe the wave behaviour of that?

p = h/ • p = momentum (p = mv) • h = Planck’s constant • (6.626 x 10-34 Js) • = de Broglie wavelength • Ve = 1/2mv2 • V = accelerating voltage (V) • e = elementary charge • (1.602x10-19 C) • m = particle mass (kg) • v = velocity (m/s) Example 2: Through what potential must you accelerate an electron so that it has a wavelength of 1.0 nm? p = h/ = (6.626E-34 Js)/(1.0E-9 m) = 6.626E-25 kg m/s p = mv, v = p/m = (6.626E-25 kg m/s)/(9.11E-31 kg) = 727332.6 m/s Ve = 1/2mv2, V = 1/2mv2/e = 1/2(9.11E-31 kg)(727332.6 m/s)2/(1.602E-19 C) = 1.504 V

What is the de Broglie wavelength of an electron going 1800 m/s? (3) m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg p = mv p = h/ p = (9.11 x 10-31 kg)(1800 m/s) = 1.6398 x 10-27 kg m/s = h/p = (6.626 x 10-34 Js)/(1.6398 x 10-27 kg m/s) = 404 nm W 404 nm
What is the momentum of a 600. nm photon? p = h/ p = (6.626 x 10-34 Js)/(600. x 10-9 m) = 1.10 x 10-27 kg m/s W 1.10 x 10-27 kg m/s
Electrons in a microscope are accelerated through 12.8 V. What de Broglie wavelength will they have? p = h/ Ve = 1/2mv2 Ve = 1/2mv2, v2 = 2Ve/m, v = √(2(12.8 V)(1.602E-19 C)/(9.11E-31 kg)) = 2121739.443 m/s p = h/, = h/p = h/mv = (6.626E-34 Js)/((9.11E-31 kg)(2121739.443 m/s)) = 3.428E-10 m W 3.428E-10 m
You want to use an electron to have the same wavelength as the waves on a violin string. Through what potential do you accelerate them. (violin strings are about 34 cm long, so the fundamental is about .68 m long) p = h/ = (6.626E-34 Js)/(.68 m) = 9.74412E-34 kg m/s p = mv, v = p/m = (6.626E-25 kg m/s)/(9.11E-31 kg) = 0.001069607 m/s Ve = 1/2mv2, V = 1/2mv2/e = 1/2(9.11E-31 kg)(0.001069607 m/s)2/(1.602E-19 C) = 3.25293E-18 V W 3.25293E-18 V
A 300. MW 620. nm laser is putting out 9.36 x 1026 photons per second. since F = p/t, and t = 1 second, what is the total thrust of the laser? (2) for 1 photon: p = h/ for 5 photons: 5p = 5h/ p = (6.626 x 10-34 Js)/(620. x 10-9 m) = 1.0687 x 10-27 kg m/s total p change = (9.36 x 1026 )(1.0687 x 10-27 kg m/s) = 1.00 N W 1.00 N

Soooo – Is/are Light/electrons a wave or particle????? Wave behaviour Particle behaviour Complementarity/Duality Wave XOR Particle behaviour explains the behavior. Behaviour depends on situation. (Other particle interactions)
