Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.129 de Broglie Wavelength and Quantum Scale skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use lambda = h/sqrt(2mK). What proportionality follows for one nonrelativistic particle when only kinetic energy changes?

Alambda is proportional to K².

Blambda is proportional to K.

Clambda is proportional to K¹/2.

Dlambda is proportional to K^-1/2.

Solution & Explanation:For fixed mass and constant h, the denominator contains sqrt(K). Therefore lambda varies as K^-1/2.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A detector records electron diffraction from a lattice spacing of 0.25 nm. The beam energy is increased so the wavelength drops from 0.25 nm to 0.05 nm. What should happen to the scale match?

AThe match becomes stronger because higher energy always means more diffraction.

BNothing changes because the lattice spacing did not change.

CThe match becomes weaker, and diffraction features shift toward smaller angles.

DThe electron loses all wave behavior when wavelength falls below spacing.

Solution & Explanation:A wavelength equal to the spacing is a stronger scale match than one-fifth of the spacing. Smaller wavelength-to-spacing ratios produce smaller diffraction angles.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

The visual shows a nanowire of width 3 nm and matter waves with wavelengths 0.03 nm, 3 nm, and 300 nm. Which wave is most likely to show confinement effects tied to the wire width?

AThe 0.03 nm wavelength wave.

BThe 3 nm wavelength wave.

CThe 300 nm wavelength wave.

DAll three equally, because they are matter waves.

Solution & Explanation:Confinement effects are strongest when the wavelength is comparable to the confinement length. The 3 nm wavelength matches the 3 nm wire width.
