1492 PARTICLES AND WAVES<br />

Using values for melectron and mpro<strong>to</strong>n taken from the inside of the front cover, we find that<br />

the speed of the pro<strong>to</strong>n is<br />

pro<strong>to</strong>n - velectron m =. x m/s -27 = 2.45xlO m/S<br />

v - [melectron: pro<strong>to</strong>n (450 106 )(9.11X10-31 1.67 X 10 kg] kg I 3 I<br />

25. REASONING AND SOLUTION The momentum of the pho<strong>to</strong>n is p = h/A and that of the<br />

electron is p = mv. Equating and solving for the wavelength of the pho<strong>to</strong>n,<br />

26. REASONING The de Broglie wavelength A is related <strong>to</strong> Planck's constant h and the<br />

magnitude p of the particle's momentum. The magnitude of the momentum can be related<br />

<strong>to</strong> the particle's kinetic energy. Thus, using the given wavelength and the fact that the<br />

kinetic energy doubles, we will be able <strong>to</strong> obtain the new wavelength.<br />

SOLUTION The de Broglie wavelength is<br />

The kinetic energy and the magnitude of the momentum are<br />

1 2<br />

KE = - mv<br />

2<br />

(6.2)<br />

p=mv<br />

or<br />

(7.2)<br />

(<strong>29.</strong>8)<br />

where m and v are the mass and speed of the particle. Substituting Equation 7.2 in<strong>to</strong><br />

Equation 6.2, we can relate the kinetic energy and momentum as follows:<br />

Substituting this result for p in<strong>to</strong> Equation <strong>29.</strong>8 gives<br />

h h<br />

A = p = ~2m(KE)
