A proton in a linear accelerator has a de broglie wavelength of 156 pm . part a what is the speed of the proton?

Respuesta :

To calculate the speed of the Proton we use, de Broglie equation as

[tex]\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]

Here, m is mass of proton and its value of [tex]1.6726219 \times 10^{-27} kg[/tex] and h is Plank constant and its value of [tex]6.626\times 10^{-34} Js[/tex].

Given,  [tex]\lambda = 156 pm = 156 \times 10^{-12} m[/tex] .

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

 [tex]156 \times 10^{-12} m = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js}{1.6726219 \times 10^{-27} kg\times v} \\\\ v=\frac{3.96\times 10^{-7} }{156 \times 10^{-12} } = 0.02538 \times 10^{5} \ m/s\\\\ v = 2538 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the speed of proton is 2538 m/s.


The speed of the proton in the linear accelerator with the given de broglie wavelength is 2539.67m/s

Given the data in the question;

De Broglie wavelength of the proton; [tex]\lambda = 156pm = 1.56 * 10^{-10}m[/tex]

Speed of the proton; [tex]v = \ ?[/tex]

The de Broglie wavelength of any particle shows the length scale at which wave-like properties are important for such particle. It is expressed as:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}[/tex]

Where:

  • h is the Planck's constants ( [tex]6.626*10^{-34}J.s[/tex] )
  • m is the mass of the particle ( [tex]mass\ of\ proton = 1.6726 * 10^{-27} kg[/tex] )
  • and v is the velocity of the particle.

We substitute our values into the equation

[tex]1.56*10^{-10}m = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}J.s}{(1.6726*10^{-27}kg)\ *\ v}\\\\v = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}J.s}{(1.6726*10^{-27}kg)*(156*10^{-10}m) }\\\\v = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}J.s}{2.609*10^{-37}kg.m}\\\\v = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}kg.m^2/s^{2}.s}{2.609*10^{-37}kg.m}\\\\v = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}kg.m^2/s}{2.609*10^{-37}kg.m}\\\\v = 2539.67 m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the proton in the linear accelerator with the given de broglie wavelength is 2539.67m/s.
