photon has energy 500 keV, equal to an electron's kinetic energy. Estimate the size of objects that each of these particles would see in a diffraction experiment. Is either of them appropriate to see an atomic nucleus?

n electron in a television picture tube has a classical kinetic energy of 70 keV, which is the kinetic energy that Newton would calculate using the measured speed and rest mass of the electron. What is the actual kinetic energy of the electron; that is, what is the value found using the relativistic result for the kinetic energy? (Give your answer in units of keV; don't type in a unit explicitly.)

Each alpha particle in a beam of alpha particles has a kinetic energy of 5.0 MeV. Through what potential difference would you have to accelerate these alpha particles in order that they would have enough energy so that if one is fired head-on at a gold nucleus it could reach a point 1.0x10^-14 m from the center of the nucleus? I know that the answer is delta V = 9e6 Volts I am struggling to get past KEi = 5.0...

A substance has a specific kinetic energy of 7.3x10-3 Btu/lb. What is the substance’s specific kinetic energy in ft2/s2 I am having a hard time converting the units here. I could look them up but that doesn't help me see how to get from one to the other. COMPLETE unit analysis/conversion would be helpful.

Exercise 11This exercise explores the concept of photon momentum, but of course if all I did was ask you to find values for various photon energies, you would have a stack of numbers but no idea about what they meant. A photon’s momentum is small, say, compared to a freight train. But what about compared to other subatomic particles? Let’s compare the momentum of a photon to an electron whose KE is the same as the photon’s.Fake Part A) Calculate...
