Compton discovered the scattering effect of x-rays, a pattern which could only be explained if electromagnetic radiation had momentum.
p = h / λ
9. What is the momentum of a photon whose wavelength is 450 nm?
10. Find the speed of an electron having the same momentum as a photon having a wavelength of 0.80 nm.
DeBroglie extended Compton’s work, and said that if waves had momentum, then perhaps all matter could be treated as a wave. He uses the same equation.
11. What is the DeBroglie wavelength of an electron that has been accelerated from rest to a velocity of 4.8 x 106 m/s?
12. Calculate the DeBroglie wavelength of a 1000 kg car moving at 90 km/hr.
