How Does Particle Beam Angular Divergence Relate to Slit Width and Voltage?

In summary, the conversation revolves around a collimated stream of particles of mass m and charge q accelerated through a potential difference of V and falling upon a slit of width d. The question is about the approximate angular divergence of the beam emerging from the other side, and the suggested approach is to find the energy, momentum, and wavelength of the particles and then treat the problem like diffraction of light. However, the person asking for help is reminded to show relevant equations and their work so far in order to receive assistance.

Homework Statement



A collimated stream of particles of mass m and charge q are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of V. They fall upon a slit of width d. What is the approximate angular divergence of the beam emerging from the other side?

is there anyone who help me ?

You need to show some work before anyone can help you. What have you tried?
 
  • #3
Find their energy, momentum , and wavelength.
Then treat it just like diffraction of light.

getcarter, as cristo is pointing out to you in the threads you've started here so far, you MUST show the relevant equations and you MUST show us your work so far, in order for us to help you. One of the most important rules here on the PF is that we do not give out answers. We are happy to provide tutorial support, but only if you show us you are trying.

So now, what are the relevant equations and concepts for this problem, and for the other thread that you posted about the fast shutter spreading the photon wavelength distribution?

What is modern physics?

Modern physics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. It includes topics such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and particle physics.

What is the difference between classical and modern physics?

Classical physics is based on the laws of motion and gravity developed by Isaac Newton, while modern physics extends our understanding of the physical world to the atomic and subatomic level. It takes into account the principles of quantum mechanics and relativity, which are not present in classical physics.

What are the main principles of modern physics?

The main principles of modern physics include quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level, and relativity, which explains how gravity affects the motion of objects in space and time. Other important principles include the wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and the conservation of energy and momentum.

What are some real-world applications of modern physics?

Modern physics has many practical applications, including the development of new technologies such as lasers, transistors, and computer chips. It also plays a crucial role in fields such as medicine, telecommunications, and energy production.

Why is studying modern physics important?

Studying modern physics allows us to better understand the fundamental laws and principles that govern the universe. It also enables us to develop new technologies and applications that can improve our daily lives and push the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
