How to Calculate and Solve for Electron Kinetic Energy | X-Ray Crystallography
Last Updated on July 22, 2021
The image above represents electron kinetic energy.
To compute for electron kinetic energy, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Mass (m) and Velocity (v).
The formula for calculating electron kinetic energy:
eV = mv²/2
Where:
eV = Electron Kinetic Energy
m = Mass
v = Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the electron kinetic energy when the mass is 12 and velocity is 24.
This implies that;
m = Mass = 12
v = Velocity = 24
eV = mv²/2
eV = (12)(24)²/2
eV = (12)(576)/2
eV = (6912)/2
eV = 3456
Therefore, the electron kinetic energy is 3456 J.
Calculating the Mass when the Electron Kinetic Energy and the Velocity is Given.
m = eV x 2 / v2
Where;
m = Mass
eV = Electron Kinetic Energy
v = Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass when the electron kinetic energy is 12 and the velocity is 4.
This implies that;
eV = Electron Kinetic Energy = 12
v = Velocity = 4
m = eV x 2 / v2
m = 12 x 2 / 42
m = 24 / 16
m = 1.5
Therefore, the mass is 1.5.
Calculating the Velocity when the Electron Kinetic Energy and the Mass is Given.
v = √(eV x 2 / m)
Where;
v = Velocity
eV = Electron Kinetic Energy
m = Mass
Let’s solve an example;
Find the velocity when the electron kinetic energy is 10 and the mass is 8.
This implies that;
eV = Electron Kinetic Energy = 10
m = Mass = 8
v = √(eV x 2 / m)
v = √(10 x 2 / 8)
v = √(20 / 8)
v = √2.5
v = 1.58
Therefore, the velocity is 1.58.
