Question

5.1 Matter Waves (cf. Prob. 5.5 in textbook) (4 pt.) To study small objects, one needs probes with a resolution (i.e., wavelength) com- parable to the size of that object. Find the appropriate kinetic energies (in eV) of photon beams (m-0) and neutron beams (mn 940 Mev) to probe (a) organic molecules of size ~10 nm (b) the structure of nuclei of size ~5 fm.
