    phew I was really worried I might diffract when i walk through my door.

    in the last 2 years i have never been this interested in physics. Thank you so much. You've saved me.

    Hello Mr. Doner, I had a doubt,
    When we are substituting the value for energy, why do we use E=mc^2, as opposed to E^2=m^2c^4+p^2c^2 ?

    • @arhankamath871
      @arhankamath871 5 лет назад

      considering the fact that the particle in question is in motion, thus possessing momentum?

      That wasn't a proof, it was a justification for a guess at what the wavelength might be. It turns out to be correct as verified experimentally.

    Hi Chris, how come the diffraction pattern for electrons has a bright intense spot in the centre while the one for x-rays does not?

    • @donerphysics
      @donerphysics  3 года назад

      I would imagine it is because of the ratio of wavelength to slit width or separation, rather than, whether it is electrons or electromagnetic waves.

    Hi Mr Doner,
    As I practice past paper questions on this topic, I found the mark scheme said "de Broglie wavelength increases as the speed of the particle increases". I am confused because I think λ=h/mv. So λ should decreases if v increases. Can you tell whether the mark scheme is wrong or not? Thank you!

      You are right, but I don't see in the syllabus where is says that.

    Hello Chris. Love the videos. Just wanted to ask. If I watched your videos and solved past papers, would that be enough prep?

      It is a very good way to review, however, I find studying very individual. Some students need to take more time organizing the course material.

    Great video overall. I have a doubt. How can we use E=mc^2 when the particle in question is not moving at the speed of light?

    • @donerphysics
      @donerphysics  3 года назад

      I am unsure of what you are asking. E=mc^2 is used for particles at rest.

      Relativistic energy is mc^2. Anything moving possesses relativistic energy.

    If I think about it, in the movie Ant Man; Ant Man should have observed the wave properties of matter on himself when he had shrinked. Obviously Marvel doesn't employ Quantum Physicist.
