In an earlier version of the double-slit experiment, scientists used helium atoms (from a reservior kept at 295 K) that exit the nozzle after expansion with a wavelength λ = 0.56 Å. The spacing d between the slits is 8 ± 0.6 µm, and the distance between the slits and the detection plane is 0.64 m in their experiement. Calculate the spacing between maxima in the detection plane. The observed spacing is 4.5 ± 0.6 µm.
What double-slit separation would produce a first-order maximum at 3.00º for 25.0-keV x rays? The small answer indicates that the wave character of x rays is best determined by having them interact with very small objects such as atoms and molecules.
A laser with 589 nm wavelength and a beam diameter of 2 mm is fed through a beam-expander, then aimed from the building A to the Building B at a distance of 2.75 km. What expansion factor is required for the beam-expander in order that the diffraction-limited spot at Canary Wharf tower has a diameter of 30 cm (defined as the diameter of the first dark ring) ?
Assuming that the smallest measurable wavelength in an experiment is 0.990 fm (femtometers), what is the maximum mass of an object traveling at 269 m/s for which the de-Broglie wavelength is observable?

Coherent light is passed through two narrow slits whose separation is 20.0 mm. The second-order bright fringe in the interference pattern is located at an angle of 0.0300 rad. If electrons are used instead of light, what must the kinetic energy (in electron volts) of the electrons be if they are to produce an interference pattern for which the second-order maximum is also at 0.0300 rad?
Assuming that the smallest measurable wavelength in an experiment is 0.730 fm , what is the maximum mass of an object traveling at 465 m⋅ s^−1 for which the de Broglie wavelength is observable? ?=
Rayleigh’s criterion is used to determine when two objects are barely resolved by a lens of diameter d. The angular separation must be greater than θR where θR = 1.22 λ/d In order to resolve two objects 4000 nm apart at a distance of 20 cm with a lens of diameter 5 cm, what energy (a) photons or (b) electrons should be used? Is this consistent with the uncertainty principle?
