An electron beam of energy 150 eV is incident normally on a Young's double slit setup. The distance between the slits is 0.1 mm and the distance between the slits and the screen is 1 m . Neglect gravity and electron-electron interactions. Select the correct statement(s).
Options
- AThe de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the beam is of the same order as the wavelength of visible light.
- BThe fringe width will be less than 0.0001 m .
- CThe energy of the electron in this beam is of the same order as the rest mass energy of the electron.
- DThe momentum of the electron in the beam is of order 10⁻²⁴ ~kg ~m ~s ⁻¹ .
Correct answer
D. The momentum of the electron in the beam is of order 10⁻²⁴ ~kg ~m ~s ⁻¹ .
