particle nature of matter.
wave nature of radiation.
particle nature of radiation.
The charge to mass ratio (e/m) provides evidence for particle nature of matter, This is because in such experiment it was proved that electron behaves as a body having definite mass and charge and thus like a particle.

Which of the following is not evidence for the wave nature of matter? A) The photoelectric effect B) The diffraction pattern obtained when electrons pass through a slit C) Electron tunneling D) The validity of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle E) The interference pattern obtained when electrons pass through a two-slit system
Describe the dual particle-wave nature, including the wavelength and frequency of matter waves. Provide an example of the experimental evidence for the wave nature of matter. Why is it impossible to measure the position and speed of a particle simultaneously with infinite precision.
Is an electron a wave or a particle or both? Support your answer by citing at least 2 experimental results. For each experiment you cite, describe briefly what the experiment showed and whether it provides evidence for the electron being a wave or a particle.
What was so radical about deBroglie’s thesis? Wave interference in matter was first observed for what type of particle? At what velocity will an electron have a wavelength of 1.30 m? What is the wavelength of an electron moving at 2.50% of the speed of light? Quantum physics tells us that we cannot ___________ where an individual particle will go.
Consider an electron whose wave function is ?(r,0,?)-- e* sin ? + cos ?)f(r). 47t where I (rrr2dr-| , and ?, ? are the azimuth and polar angles, respectively. (i) Rewrite the wave function in terms of the appropriate spherical harmonics.

3. Wave functions (40 marks) Consider particle described by wave function (x) = Ce-x/a for x > 0, and otherwise (C is a real and non-negative). (a) Normalise (x) and plot it (you can use a computer to plotit). (b) Calculate the probability that the particle is located within distance a from the origin. (e) Find mean value of position measurement. (d) Find mean value of momentum measurement. Hint: use the fact that (x) is purely...
What would be the result of a kinetic energy measurement on a free quantum particle? (i.e. potential energy V(x) = 0) of mass m with a wave-function ψ(x) = e^(-x^2) A hint for this question: Consider only the kinetic energy operator. Is the given function an eigenfunction of this operator? If yes, what will be the result of the measurement? If not an eigenfunction, what would be the result of the measurement?

Show that if an electron is accelerated through V volts then the deBroglie wave- length in angstroms is given by λ-(1 ) 12 A thermal neutron has a speed v at temperature T 300 K and kinetic energy L. Calculate its deBroglie wavelength. State whether a beam of these neutrons could be diffracted by a crystal, and why? (b) Use Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle to estimate the kinetic energy (in MeV) of a nucleon...
Mass SpectrometerJ. J. Thomson is best known for his discoveries about the nature of
cathode rays. Another important contribution of his was the
invention, together with one of his students, of the mass
spectrometer. The ratio of mass m to (positive) charge q of an ion may be accurately determined in a mass
spectrometer. In essence, the spectrometer consists of two regions:
one that accelerates the ion through a potential difference V and a second that measures its radius of curvature in...
The time-independent Schroedinger equation is given by:
− Wave functions that satisfy this equation are called energy
eigenstates. a) If U=0 for all positions, this represents a free
particle. For a wave function with definite momentum ℏ,, compute E.
b) Is the relationship derived from a) consistent with what we know
from classical mechanics for a free particle? Explain how or how
not. c) Consider the wave function ((^b[j + ^bâj), with A some
number and c, d not equal...
