SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Snell's Law to the behavior of electrons transitioning between different potential regions. Specifically, it addresses the scenario where an electron with velocity v exits a potential V1 and enters a potential V2 at an alpha angle, resulting in a deviation at a beta angle. The participant seeks guidance on how to list the parameters of this question and requests resources for further reading on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Snell's Law in physics
  • Familiarity with electron behavior in electric fields
  • Knowledge of potential energy concepts
  • Basic grasp of wave-particle duality and quantum mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of Snell's Law to particle physics
  • Study the principles of electron dynamics in varying potentials
  • Explore resources on quantum mechanics and wave-particle duality
  • Investigate the mathematical formulation of potential energy transitions
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, particularly those focusing on quantum mechanics, particle behavior, and the application of Snell's Law in various contexts.

Homework Statement
I found an entirely different question. He said that when an electron with velocity v left a region with potential V1, when it was applied with an alpha angle to another region of potential V2, it suffered deviation from a beta angle. It looks like a snell law case to me, but I'm not sure. How can I list the question parameters? Where can I read more about this?
Relevant Equations

Who said? Can you provide a reference or link? Failing that, can you post the exact wording of what "he" said?
