You are working as a demonstration assistant for a physics professor. She wants to demonstrate to her students the buildup of the interference pattern for single electrons passing through a double slit, as shown. Her source of electrons will be a certain vacuum tube, in which electrons evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow, steady rate and accelerate from rest through a potential difference of 45.0 V. After being accelerated, they travel through a fieldfree and evacuated region before they pass through the double slits and fall on a screen to produce an interference pattern. To ensure that only one electron at a time is passing through the slits, she wants the electrons to be separated in space by d = 1.00 cm (perpendicular to the barrier containing the slits) as they approach the slit. She asks you todetermine the maximum value for the beam current that will assure that only one electron at a time passes through the slits.
Consider electrons incident on a double slit apparatus. You observe that they form the same pattern as 460-nm light on the screen behind the slits. a) Calculate the velocity, in m/s, of the electrons. b) Calculate the kinetic energy, in Joules, of the electron.
