How to Calculate and Solve for Electron Kinetic Energy | X-Ray Crystallography

by

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.

How to Calculate and Solve for Velocity | De Broglie’s Law

by

The image above represents velocity.

To compute for velocity, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Planck’s Constant (h), Wavelength (λ) and Mass (m).

The formula for calculating velocity:

v = h / λm

Where;

v = velocity
λ = wavelength
h = Planck’s constant
m = mass

Let’s solve an example;
Find the velocity when the wavelength is 10, the planck’s constant is 6.626e-34 and the mass is 5.

This implies that;

λ = wavelength = 10
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626e-34
m = mass = 5

v = h / λm
v = 6.62607004e-34 ⁄ (10)(5)
v = 6.62607004e-34 ⁄ (50)
v = 1.33e-35

Therefore, the velocity is 1.33e-35 m/s.

How to Calculate and Solve for Wavelength | De Broglie’s Law

by

The image above represents wavelength.

To compute for wavelength, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Planck’s Constant (h), Mass (m) and Velocity (v).

The formula for calculating wavelength:

λ = h⁄mv

Where

λ = wavelength
h = Planck’s constant
m = mass
v = velocity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the wavelength when the planck’s constant is 6.62e-34, the mass is 21 and the velocity is 11.

This implies that;

h = Planck’s constant = 6.62e-34
m = mass = 21
v = velocity = 11

λ = h⁄mv
λ = 6.62607004e-34⁄(21)(11)
λ = 6.62607004e-34⁄(231)
λ = 2.86e-36

Therefore, the wavelength is 2.86e-36 m.

Calculating the Mass when the Wavelength, the Planck’s Constant and the Velocity is Given.

m = h / λv

Where;

m = mass
λ = wavelength
h = Planck’s constant
v = velocity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass when the wavelength is 18, the planck’s constant is 6.626e-34 and the velocity is 6.

This implies that;

λ = wavelength = 18
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626e-34
v = velocity = 6

m = h / λv
m = 18 / 6.626e-34 x 6
m = 18 / 3.976e-33
m = 4.53

Therefore, the mass is 4.53 m.
