calculate the wavelengths of the following: A) a muon (a subatomic particle with a mass of 1.884x10^-25g) traveling at 2.30x10^2 m/s B) an electron (m=9.10939x10^-28g) moving at 3.80x10^6 m/s in an electron microscope

Solutions

Expert Solution

A)

muon mass = 1.884x10^-25 g

                    = 1.884 x 10^-28 kg

velocity = 2.30x10^2 m/s

wave length (lamda) = h / mv

                                 = 6.625 x 10^-34 / (1.884 x 10^-28 x 2.30x10^2)

                                 = 1.53 x 10^-8 m

                                 = 15.3 nm

B)

electron mass = 9.10939x10^-28 g

                       = 9.10939x10^-31 kg

velocity = 3.80x10^6 m/s

wave length (lamda) = h / mv

                                 = 6.625 x 10^-34 / (9.10939x10^-31 x 3.80x10^6)

                                 = 1.91 x 10^-10 m

A muon is a type of unstable subatomic particle. When high-speed particles from outer space (sometimes called "cosmic rays") collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere, they can create muons which travel toward the Earth. Suppose a muon created in the atmosphere travels at a speed of 0.971c toward the Earth's surface for a distance of 4.13 km, as measured by a stationary observer on Earth, before decaying into other particles. (a) As measured by the stationary observer on Earth,...

One of the many interesting fundamental particles in nature is the muon ?. This particle acts very much like a heavy electron and has a mass of 106MeV/c2, compared to the electron's mass of just 0.511MeV/c2. (Here we are using E=mc2 to obtain the mass in units of energy and the speed of light c). Unlike the electron, the muon has a finite lifetime, after which it decays into an electron and two very light neutrinos ( ?). We'll ignore...

a muonic atom has an electron replaced by a particle called a muon, which is about 200 times more massive, but otherwise almost the same as an electron before you start the rest of this, you'll want to check what quantities for a bohr hydrogen atom depend on the electron mass. consider a muonic hydrogen atom in its ground state. ignore subtle effects like the reduced mass or any relaticistic considerations (even though the former should be relevant here). Remember...

The muon is an unstable elementary particle that decays via a weak-force interaction process into an electron and two neutrinos. The life time of muons in their rest frame is 2.197µs ≡ 2.197×10−6 s. Nuclear reactions in the upper atmosphere, precipitated by the impact of highly energetic cosmic rays ,generate fast-moving muons about 10km above sea level. Some of these particles are detected in labs at about sea level. This is possible because the life time of muons moving with...
