calculate de brogile wavelength(in cm) of an α-particle emitted from radium having an energy of 4.8MeV. Mass of α-particle=6.6x10^-24g
Dear Prince
Solve using the formula:
The derivation of De Brogiles wave length: We know that the energy of light E=mc^2 Again if the frequency of light is f Then E=h*f [where h is planck constant] So, mc^2=h*f or, mc^2=h*(c/l) [where c is the velocity of light,l is the wavelength ,& c=l*f] or,l=(h*c)/mc^2 or,l=h/m*c or,l=h/p.[ where p is the momentum=m*c] this is the De Broglies equation. That derivation is completely wrong. The momentum of a photon is NOT given by m*c, as c=constant, m=0. Neither is the energy of light mc^2, as that also goes to zero. The derivation works by a miracle. The proper derivation is this: From a relativistic invariant we know that E^2-p^2c^2=(mc^2)^2 For a photon, the mass = 0, so E/c=p For a photon, E=hc/lambda Therefore, h/lambda=p The first step works as a result of contra/covariant vectors, but can be checked using algebra. The relativistic Energy = m*c^2/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) , momentum p = m*v/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2).
