- In a supercollider at CERN, protons are accelerated to velocities of 0.25c. What are their wavelengths at this speed? What are their kinetic energies?

(Rest mass energy of a proton is E0=938 MeV).arrow_forwardThere is no direct measure of the mass of the graviton, since it has never been directly observed. However, the fact that clusters of galaxies are gravitationally bound together means that gravity must extend at least to the 1023-meter size of these astronomical objects. Assuming this as a range for the gravitational force, use the uncertainty principle to find maximum mass for the graviton in eV.arrow_forwardPlease show a complete, detailed solution to this problem.
