Homework Statement



In a Young’s double-sit experiment performed with electrons, the two slits are
separated by a distance of 2.0 x 10^-6m. The first-order bright fringes are located
on the observation screen at an angle of 1.6 x 10^-4 degrees. Find the wavelength
and momentum of the electrons.

Homework Equations



lamda = dsinx/n ?



The Attempt at a Solution



So i think electrons display the same properties as light when fired through the doublie slit thingy, thus I just subed 2E-6m for d and 1.6E-4 degree for x and used

lamda = dsinx

Answers not right though...and I really don't know where to continue from here.

OK nevermind, what I did was right, the teacher made type and give wrong angle, thank you anywayz
 
Glad it worked out.

FYI, in the future I recommend posting any final result you calculate. Otherwise people have no way of knowing if you did it correctly all the way through to the end.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
