In the atom interferometer experiment of Figure 38.13 , lasercooling techniques were used to cool a dilute
Question:
a. What is the rms speed vrms of a sodium atom (A = 23) in a gas at temperature 1.0 mK?
b. By treating the laser beam as if it were a diffraction grating, calculate the first-order diffraction angle of a sodium atom traveling with the rms speed of part a.
c. How far apart are points B and C if the second standing wave is 10 cm from the first?
d. Because interference is observed between the two paths, each individual atom is apparently present at both point B and point C. Describe, in your own words, what this experiment tells you about the nature of matter
