    Experiment X-rays
AI Thread Summary
Young's experiment with X-rays and high-speed electrons demonstrates wave-particle duality, revealing that both light and matter exhibit wave-like behavior. The interference patterns produced by X-rays confirm the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation, while high-speed electrons also create similar patterns, indicating their wave characteristics. The speed of electrons influences the interference pattern, with faster electrons producing sharper patterns due to shorter wavelengths. This comparison highlights the relationship between wavelength and interference in both light and matter. Overall, the experiment underscores fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.

describe results of performing young's experiment with x-rays and then high speed electronics.

my answer:
The wave particle duality is established by using his experiment.


Can someone help me to add on?
thnx :)

You can also discuss how the speed of the electrons affects the interference pattern and compare that to how the wavelength of light affects the pattern.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
