qm.2 a particle has a velocity that is 90.0% the speed of light. if the wavelength of the particle is 1.5x10-15 m, calculate the mass of the particle.



Answer :

Neetoo

If the wavelength of the particle is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁵ m,  the mass of the particle will be 1.636 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Velocity of the particle = 90.0% of c ( speed of light)

Wavelength of the particle (λ) = 1.5 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

Mass of the particle = ?

Calculate the velocity of the particle

    velocity = (90.0 / 100)(3 × 10⁸ m/s)

    velocity = (0.90)(3 × 10⁸ m/s)

    velocity = 2.70 × 10⁸ m/s

Now calculate the mass of the particle by using the following equation:

   λ = h / mv

Rearrange the equation for mass

    m = h / λv

value of h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Kg.m².s⁻¹

Put the values

    m = (6.626 × 10-34 Kg.m².s⁻¹) / (1.5 × 10⁻¹⁵ m)(2.70 × 10⁸ m/s)

    m = 1.636 × 10⁻²⁷ Kg
