An electron of mass 9.11x10^(-31) is fired from an electron gun at 7x10^6 m/s. What size object will the electron need to interact with in order to diffract?

Momentum of electron=mv=6.377x10^-24 kg m/s

λ=h/mv=6.63x10-34/6.377x10-24=1.039...x10-10=1x10-10

What do you understand by simple harmonic motion?

Is the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke's Law. The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency. There are ...

Two balls with the same kinetic energy have mass of ball a = m and ball b = 2m. What is the ratio of their momentums: a/b?

We know that both balls have the same kinetic energy, so we can write Eka = Ekb We also know that kinetic energy is given by the equation Ek = 1/2 (mv2) and mom...

How do I calculate the hydrostatic pressure?

Hydrostatic pressure originates from the weight of the liquid. At a certain point in the liquid, the hydrostatic pressure is going to be equal to the weight of the liquid above the examined point.  So in ...
