Wave-Particle Duality
S1 If mass m assumed exact, then
 p = mv (m = 0)

Hence (mv)x  h/4

p v  1.2 x 106 m s-1
(Same as lect notes Example10/pg 30)
h 6.63  1034
S2 S7 E    5.28  10 28 J
( )( ) 4t 4  10 7

Use = h/p h 6.63 10 34

S3 [1.1 x10-34 m] S8 x  
(same as lect notes Example9/pg30) 4p 4 (0.050)(0.01)
 x  1.06 x 10-31 m

B Objects with mass cannot travel at or = 0.0103

Relativity) b) R = 1 – T = 0.9897
C Chromatic aberration is smearing of
colours when light passes through a
refractive medium due to the
wavelength dependence of the
medium’s refractive index.
Images produced by electron
microscope do not even offer
coloured images, or are false
coloured.
E Electrons can be diffracted, but
electron microscopes have much
better resolution than optical
microscopes as their de Broglie
wavelengths are significantly smaller
than 400 nm in electron
microscopes.
