What double-slit separation would produce a first-order maximum at 3.00° for 25.0-keV x rays? The small answer indicates that the wave character of x rays is best determined by having them interact with very smallobjects such as atoms and molecules.
What double-slit separation would produce a first-order maximum at 3.00º for 25.0-keV x rays? The small answer indicates that the wave character of x rays is best determined by having them interact with very small objects such as atoms and molecules.
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.
