To measure temperatures, physicists often use the variation of intensity of EM radiation emitted by an object. The wavelength at which the intensity is greatest is given by the equation: λmaxT = 0.2898 cm.K where λmax is the wavelength of greatest intensity and T is the temperature of the object in kelvins. In 1965, microwave radiation peaking at λmax = 0.107 cm was discovered coming in all directions from space. To what temperature, in a) K b) °C c) °F, does this wavelength correspond?
Suppose you need to image the structure of a virus with a diameter of 50 nm. For a sharp image, the wavelength of the probing wave must be 5.0 nm or less. We have seen that, for imaging such small objects, this short wavelength is obtained by using an electron beam in an electron microscope. Why don’t we simply use short-wavelength electromagnetic waves? There’s a problem with this approach: As the wavelength gets shorter, the energy of a photon of light gets greater and could damage or destroy the object being studied. Let’s compare the energy of a photon and an electron that can provide the same resolution. For the electron with a de broglie wavelength of 3.5 nm, what is the kinetic energy (in eV)?
