After learning about de Broglie's hypothesis that material particles of momentum p move as waves with wavelength = h/p, an 80.0-kg student has grown concerned about being diffracted when passing through a 75.0-cmwide doorway. Assume significant diffraction occurs when the width of the diffraction aperture is less that 10.0 times the wavelength of the wave being diffracted. (a) Determine the maximum speed at which the student can pass through the doorway if he is to be significantly diffracted. (b) With that speed, over what time interval does the student pass through the doorway if it is in a wall 15.0 cm thick? State how your answer compares with the age of the Universe, which is about 4 x 10¹7 s.

A CD-ROM is used instead of a crystal in an electron diffraction experiment. The surface of the CD-ROM has tracks of tiny pits with a uniform spacing of 1.60 mm. (a) If the speed of the electrons is 1.26 X 104 m/s, at which values of q will the m = 1 and m = 2 intensity maxima appear? (b) The scattered electrons in these maxima strike at normal incidence a piece of photographic film that is 50.0 cm from the CD-ROM. What is the spacing on the film between these maxima?

16 For three experiments, Fig. 38-25 gives the transmission coefficient T for electron tunneling through a po- tential barrier, plotted versus barrier thickness L. The de Broglie wave- lengths of the electrons are identical in the three experiments. The only difference in the physical setups is the barrier heights U. Rank the three experiments according to U, greatest first. T: Figure 38-25 Question 16.
