- Matter has both particle and wave properties.
- Why don't we notice the particle nature of matter in our everyday experience?
- What experimental evidence do we have to show that matter is composed of particles (atoms, molecules, ions)?
- Why don't we notice the wave nature of matter in our everyday experience?
- What experimental evidence do we have to show that elementary particles can behave like waves?
- Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation have both particle and wave
properties. Answer the following questions. Provide an example of a device,
object, phenomena, or situation that can be used to demonstrate each of the
two different models of light. Choose examples from common experience. No fancy
laboratory experiments or abstract textbook situations.
- What evidence do we have that light is a wave?
- What evidence do we have that light is composed of particles (photons)?
numerical
- The Davisson-Germer experiment that first demonstrated the wave nature of mater
used electrons accelerated to 54 V.
- Determine the energy of the electrons in …
- electron volts
- joules
- How fast were they moving? State the speed in …
- m/s
- mph
- What momentum did they have?
- Determine the wavelength of the electrons in the Davisson-Germer experiment.
- What form of electromagnetic radiation has the same wavelength as the value you calculated in part d.?
