Compose the expression for a quantity whose dimension is length, using velocity of light c, mass of a particle m, and Planck's constant h. What is that quantity? |

Answer» Solution :The unit of `cancelh` is Jpule.sec. Since `mc^(2)` is the rest mass enegry, `(cancelh)/(mc^(2))` has the dimension of TIME and multiplying by `c` we get a QUANTITY `cancellambda_(c) =(cancelh)/(mc)`. whose dimension is lingth. This quantity is called reduced compton wavelength. (The NAME compton wavelengths is traditionally reserved for `(2PI cancelh)/(mc))`. |
