You would like to observe an E. coli bacterium that is 1.85 μm1.85 μm long. Because diffraction blurs an image, you would like to minimize the effects of diffraction by using a wavelength no larger than the object you are observing. For this problem, assume the wavelength is equal to the length of the bacterium.
What is the energy of a photon with this wavelength?
the energy of photon: ______ JJ
What is the energy of an electron with a de Broglie wavelength of this size?
the energy of electron: _____JJ
In terms of energy, which particles, photons, or electrons, are the least likely to damage your sensitive biological sample?
a. electrons
b. they are the same
c. photons
1.
Wavelength of photon, λ = 1.85 x 10-6 m
Energy of photon, E = hc/λ = 6.625 x 10-34 x 3 x 108/1.85 x 10-6 = 1.074 x 10-19 J
Energy of photon, E = 1.074 x 10-19 J
2.
De-Broglie wavelength of electron, λ = 1.85 x 10-6 m
De-Broglie wavelength of electron, λ = h/(2mE)1/2
Energy of electron, E = h2/2m λ2 = (6.625 x 10-34 )2/2x 9.11 x 10-31 x (1.85 x 10-6)2 = 7.03x10-26J
Energy of electron, E = 7.03x10-26J
3.
Since, the energy of electron is much less than the energy of photon, the electron is least likely to damage sensitive biological sample.

3. [5] Retinal consists of a chain of carbon atoms roughly 1.5 nm long. Electrons in this long chain molecule behave very much like particles in a box The retinal molecule is a linear molecule that has 12 electrons that are free to move about the chain According to the Pauli exclusion principle, when this molecule is in its ground state, these 12 electrons fill the first 6 states of the box. Thus, the lowest energy photon that can be...
Quantized and total photon energy The particle characteristics of electromagnetic radiation are responsible for the quantized behavior of light energy. This behavior explains the results of varying the intensity and wavelength for an observed photoelectric effect, which describes the emission of electrons when light shines on a metal surface. If light only exhibited a purely wavelike behavior, then either increasing the intensity or decreasing the wavelength would both increase the rate at which electron are emitted. However, monochromatic light of...
Only asking for accuracy. I'll make sure to leave a like :)
