Problem39 36

This document solves a physics problem involving the diffraction of electrons through a double slit. It calculates (a) the wavelength of the electrons, (b) their velocity, (c) the uncertainty in their momentum perpendicular to the slit plane, and (d) the resulting uncertainty in their position. The key results are that the electron wavelength is 1.94×10−10 m, their velocity is 6.67×10−7 m/s, the uncertainty in their momentum is 2.65×10−28 kg⋅m/s, and the position uncertainty is 0.40 μm.
