A single beam of electrons shines on a single slit of width 3.3nm. A diffraction pattern (of electrons!) is formed on a screen that is 2.1m away from the slit. The distance between the central bright spot and the first minimum is 2.1cm.What is the speed (m/s) of the electrons?Make use of the small angle approximation.
a) In a double-slit experiment, a stream of electrons with speed v = 10 m/s is aimed at two parallel
slits. On the screen one meter behind the slits an interference pattern is observed in the number of
electrons arriving at different points on the screen. The distance between the first and the second
intensity maxima is 1 cm. Find the distance between the slits.
A double-slit experiment is performed with sodium light
(λ = 589.0 nm). The slits are separated by 1.05 mm, and the
screen is 2.357 m from the slits. Find the separation between
adjacent maxima on the screen.
