Problem #1:

What is the De-Broglie wavelength of a red blood cell with a mass of

cm
1,00 10
11
g that is moving with a speed of
0 , 400 ? Do we need to be
s

concerned with the wave nature of the blood cells when we describe the flow of
blood in the body?

We need to now some concepts before solve the problem:

h h
= =
p 1) mv There are five symbols in this

equation: a). stands for the wavelength of the particle.

b). h stands for Planck's Constant.
c). p stands for the momentum of the particle.
d). m stands for the mass of the particle.
e). v stands for the speed of the particle.

Assess:

A red blood cells move into capillaries and they dont look waved, they
look distinctly like corpuscles, so my assessment is, I expect the number of
wavelength to be rather small and not to be substance.

Solve:

h=6,626 1034 Js

1 kg
m=1,00 1011 g ( 1000 g)
=1 10 14
kg

cm 1m m
v =0,400
s
(
100 cm )
=0,00400
s

Replacing in the equation,

 h
=
mv

6,626 1034 Js
= =1,6565 1017 m
( 1,00 10 kg ) (0,00400 m/s )
14

We conclude that we dont need to be concerned with the wave nature of the blood cells
because the wavelength is too small.

Problema #2:

Determine la longitud de onda de De-Broglie y la energa cintica, expresada en eV, de:

a). Un electrn cuya longitud de onda de De-Broglie es igual a la longitud de onda en el

vaco de un fotn de energa Ef =104 eV .

b). Una piedra de masa 80 g que se mueve con una velocidad de 2m/s.

Para tener en cuenta antes de resolver el problema:

34
h=6,626 10 Js Constante de Planck.

8
c=3 10 m/ s Velocidad de la luz en el vaco.

31
me =9,1 10 kg Masa del electrn.

e=1,6 1019 C Valor absoluto de la carga del electrn.

Ef =hf
Energa del fotn; constante de Planck por la frecuencia.
 Ef =hf

c
f=
Pero,

Ef = =
Entonces, E

Reemplazando,

10343 10 8
=6,626
1041,6 1019

=1,242375 1010 m

a). Como primera medida, para hallar la energa cintica, necesitamos la velocidad la cual
podemos calcular por medio del momento del fotn:

h h

6,626 1034 24 kgm

p= =5,33 10

5,33 10 m
v= =5,8608 10 6
9,110
31

Ahora, teniendo la velocidad, aplicamos la frmula de la energa cintica:

 1 2
Ec = m v

Ec = ( 9,1 1031 )(5,8608 106 )2

Ec =1,5628 1017 J

Utilizando la conversin,

19
1,6022 10 J=1 eV

1 eV
EC =1,5628 1017 J
( 1,6022 10 J )
19
=97,5408 eV

Ec =97,5408eV

h h

b). p mv

6,626 1034
= =4,14125 1033 m
( 0,08 ) (2)

=4,14125 1033 m

Con la ecuacin de la energa cintica,

1
Ec = ( 0,08 m )(2 m/ s)2
2
Ec =0,16 J
Utilizando la conversin de unidades de J a eV ,
18
Ec =1 10 eV
