To determine

Whether the bright regions on the screen in the two- slit interference pattern using electrons, would be closer together, farther apart, or stay at the same locations, when the electrons are replaced by muons of same kinetic energy as that of the electrons.

graphically to the right (note that the curve is a stralgl wwww 3 A quantum harmonic oscillator consists of a 100-gram mass attached to a spring with spring constant 60 N/m. This system, while ocillating, lowers its energy by dropping down one quantum state (quantum number n decreases by 1). If the energy that the oscillator loses is carried off by a photon, what would be the wavelength of this photon? Give your answer in meters. The answer does not depend on the oscillator's initial quantum state. A br ear vni
Suppose that at a given time a quanton has the (unrealistic) wavefunction shown. If we per- form an experiment to locate the quanton at that time, what is the probalitiy that the result will be greater than zero? Explain your reasoning. (Assume that y(x) = 0 everywhere out- side the region shown. The size of the vertical and horizontal scales in not relevant.) *(x)
Please answer the following question :1. After being scattered by an electron, the wavelength of the x-ray changes in what way? Does that scattered x-ray gain or lose energy? Is this what classical electromagnetic theory predicts? 2. What would the shapes of the graphs be if the classical explanation was the correct explanation? 3. Examine the graph at the lower right. Are the deflected x-rays uniformly distributed over all the scattering angles? Does the shape of that distribution change for different incoming x-ray energies?
