    Neutron Beam Width after localization via a slit in a sheet (QM)

    Sorry, forgot this is not a UK forum. They're just maths modules I've taken M for mechanics etc... Not really important, just stating I'm a bit Naive about things. Again cheers.

    Neutron Beam Width after localization via a slit in a sheet (QM)

    Ok thank you. So I use the uncertainty inequality to calculate the associated uncertainty in momentum then I take that value as an estimate for the momentum calculate from that the velocity then find the distance traveled in 1/20th of a second? I should mention at this point that I'm an AS UK...

    Neutron Beam Width after localization via a slit in a sheet (QM)

    Homework Statement A parallel beam of neutrons with speed 200m/s is incident on an absorbing sheet with a slit of width 0.01mm. Calculate the width of the beam 10m behind the slit. Hint The slit localizes the neutrons transversely (y) to their propagation direction x. The resulting ΔPy gives...
