2 . Calculate its de-Broglie wavelength. State whether a beam of these
neutrons could be diffracted by a crystal, and why?
5. An electron is inside in an infinitely deep potential well of width L = 106 fm. Determine
the wavelength of photon emitted from the transition E4 E3.
6. A particle is trapped in an infinitely deep square well of width
are separated by infinite distance so that the particle becomes free. Determine the
probability that the particle has momentum between
p p+dp ?
7. A free 10 eV electron moves in the x-direction with a speed of 1.88 106 m/s. Assuming
that one can measure its speed to a precision of 1%, what will be the precision with which
its position is simultaneously measured? If electron is replaced by a golf ball of mass 45 g
moving at a speed of 40 m/s, what is the precision in position in this case? What
conclusion do you draw?
8. How accurately can the position of a proton with v << c be determined without giving it
10. Show that the phase velocity of the de-Broglie waves associated with a moving particle
having a rest mass mo is given by
1/ 2
V p=c 1+ ( mo cl|h )
Solution
Sol.1. Let a photon having energy h transfers all its energy to a free electron then by energy
conservation we have h = mc2
by momentum conservation we have h/c = mv
h = mc2v/c , since v/c is always less than 1thus there is a contradiction means our
assumption that a photon can transfer all its energy to free electron is wrong.
Sol. 2 By energy conservation
Total energy before collision = total energy after collision
hc/ = 2 mec2 + K+ + K- ( K- is the kinetic energy of electron and K+ is the KE of positron)
given K+ = 2Kthus hc/ = 2mec2 + 3K- substituting values of h, c, , mo and c we get
K- = 1.04MeV and K+ = 2.08MeV
