Ex 3.3 :<br />

An e' has a <strong>de</strong> <strong>Broglie</strong> wavelength of 2pm=2x10 -12 m.Find its<br />

kinetic energy & the phase & group velocity of its <strong>de</strong> <strong>Broglie</strong><br />

<strong>waves</strong>.<br />

(a) E =E o +kE kE =E – E o = Eo<br />

p c Eo<br />

pc = hc/λ= (4.136x10 -15 ev.s)(3x10 8 m/s)/(2x10 -12 ) =<br />

6.2x10 5 ev=620kv<br />

the rest energy of e' is E o =511kv<br />
