Matter Waves: Electrons are accelerated to a speed of 4.0 × 104 m/s and are then aimed at a double-slit apparatus, where interference fringes are detected. If the electrons were replaced by neutrons, what speed must neutrons have to produce interference fringes with the same fringe spacing as that observed with the electrons? (h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ? s, melectron = 9.11 × 10-31 kg, mneutron = 1.675 × 10-27 kg)

A. 2.2 × 101 m/s B. 7.3 × 107 m/s C. 1.7 × 106 m/s D. 9.3 × 102 m/s

You stand near the earth's equator. A positively charged particle that starts moving parallel to the surface of the earth in a straight line directed east is initially deflected upwards. If you know there are no electric fields in the vicinity, a possible reason why the particle does not initially acquire a downward component of velocity is because near the equator the magnetic field lines of the

earth are directed a. upward. b. downward. c. from south to north. d. from north to south. e. from east to west.
