Problem 5.7: Electron diffraction


Please wait for the animation to completely load.

In this animation, electrons are incident on a single slit and pass through to a screen as shown. Each of the five animations gives a snapshot of the data collected at a later time period. If the slit is 0.08-microns wide and the distance to the screen is 1.2 m, what is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron (signal is in counts of 1000 and the position on the screen is given in mm). Restart.
