1.

Find the potential difference for which the error in the value of the momentum for the previous problem calculated using the nonrelativistic approximation does not exceed 5%. Do the calculations both for the electron and for the proton.

Solution :The RELATIVE error is
`epsilon= (p_("rel")-p_("el"))/(p_("rel"))= 1-(csqrt(2qvarphim_(0)))/(SQRT(qvarphi(2E_(0)+qvarphi)))=1-sqrt((2E_(0))/(2E_(0)+qvarphi))`
HENCE
`varphi= (2E_(0))/(q).(2epsilon-epsilon^(2))/((1-epsilon)^(2))`
Since `epsilon ltlt 1` we have `varphi= (4epsilonE_(0))/(q)`
