1, Calculate the de-broglie wavelength associated with an electron having a
kinetic energy of 100 ev.
. Calculate the momentum of an electron and the de- broglie wavelength
: associated with it if its kinetic energy is 1.5 6%
. The velocity of an electron of a Hydrogen atom in the ground state is 2.19
10° m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the de Broglie waves associated with
its motion.
4, Compute the de Broglie wavelength for a neutron moving with one tenth
part of the velocity of light given mass of neutron= 1.67 X 10 7 kg.
Calculate the kinetic energy of an electron of wavelength 18nm.
. Find the kinetic energy of a neutron in ev for which the de-broglie
wavelength is 1A°; given mass of neutron=1.674X107” kg.
. Calculate the wavelength associated with an electron raised through a
potential difference of 2kv.
. Compare the momentum, the total energy and the kinetic energy of an
electron with a de Broglie wavelength of 4 A°, with that of a photon with.

10. Evaluate the de Broglie wavelength of Helium nucleus that is accelerated
through 500 v . Given mass of proton = mass of neutron = 1.67 X 10” kg.d momentut

"momentum if the uncertainity in the measurement of its position is 0.5 Av
12.In a measurement of position and momentum that involved an uncertainity
of 0.003% the speed of an electron was found to be 800 m/s . Calculate the
corresponding uncertainity that arises in determining its position.
13.In a measurement of position and velocity of an electron moving with a
speed of 6 X 10° m/s, calculate the highest accuracy with which its position
could be determined if the inherent error in the measurement of its
velocity is 0.01% for the speed stated
14.A spectral line of wavelength 5461 A° has a width of 10“ A° .Evaluate the
minimum time spent by the electrons in the upper energy state.
15.The inherent uncertainity in the measurement of time spent by Iridium 191
nuclei in the excited state is found to be 1.4 X 10"°s . Estimate the
uncertainity that results in its energy in the excited state.
16.An electron is bound in an one dimensional potential well of width 14°, but
of infinite wall height. Find its energy values in the ground state and also in
the first two excited states,
17.The ground state energy of an electron in an infinite well is 5.6 X 10° eV.
What will be the ground state energy if the width of the well is doubled?
