Question
A parallel beam of electrons travelling in x-direction falls on a slit of width d (see figure). If after passing the slit, an electron acquires momentum py in the y-direction then for a majority of electrons passing through the slit (h is Planck′s constant) :A parallel beam of electrons travelling in x-direction falls on a slit of width d (see figure). If after passing the slit, an electron acquires momentum py in the y-direction then for a majority of electrons passing through the slit (h is Planck′s constant) :
