CHEM 1110 Quiz 1 for test 3 - dual nature of matter
NAMES
Two calculation of matter which indicate the wave nature are the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle and the De Broglie wave length relationship. Using
these relationship do the following calculations. (electron mass
= 9.11 x 10-31 kg, Planck's constant = 6.626068 ×
10-34 m2 kg / s)
1) What is the uncertainty in the momentum and velocity
of an electron confined to 1.0 nm of space?
(Note the there is very little uncertainty in the mass of the electron.)
momentum uncertainty = __________________
velocity uncertainty = ___________________
2) What is the wave length of a 100 eV electron?
(1 eV = 1.60 x 10-19 J)
wave length = ________________
