A beam of electrons is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 0.100 kV and then passes through a thin slit. When viewed far from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima at+-14.6° from the original direction of the beam. (a) Do we need to use relativity formulas? How do you know? (b) How wide is the slit?
A beam of electrons is accelerated from rest and then passes through a pair of identical thin slits that are 1.25 nm apart. You observe that the first double-slit interference dark fringe occurs at +_18.0° from the original direction of the beam when viewed on a distant screen. (a) Are these electrons relativistic? How do you know? (b) Through what potential difference were the electrons accelerated?

- Quantum tunneling was applied in 1928 by physicist George Gamow (and others) to explain the alpha emission of nuclear radiation, as we will see in the topic of nuclear physics. The alpha particle, whose mass is m = 6.64 x 10^(-27) kg, remains attached to the nucleus due to a strong interaction with the other nuclear constituents (nucleons) which overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between them, resulting in a graph of potential energy shown in figure A, where R is the range of the strong force and is of the order of the nuclear radius. However, note that there may be states for the alpha particle with energy E > 0 that can “tunnel” the Coulomb potential barrier. Consider a one-dimensional approximation for the potential energy well of an alpha particle in a 15 fm wide Uranium core (equivalent to the core diameter), in which the Coulomb barrier was modeled as a 20 fm wide rectangular barrier and 30 MeV high (see figure B).
