Answer

a) $p_i=2.76\times 10^{-24}Kg.m/s$ b) $p_f=27.28\times 10^{-25}Kg.m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $p_i=\frac{h}{\lambda}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $p_i=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}J.s}{0.240\times 10^{-9}m}$ $p_i=2.76\times 10^{-24}Kg.m/s$ (b) We know that $\lambda_f=\lambda_i+\frac{h}{m_{\circ}c}(1-cos\theta)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda_f=0.240\times 10^{-9}m+(2.43\times 10^{-12}m)(1-cos105^{\circ})$ $\lambda_f=0.243\times 10^{-9}m$ Now $p_f=\frac{h}{\lambda_f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $p_f=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}J.s}{0.243\times 10^{-9}m}$ $p_f=27.28\times 10^{-25}Kg.m/s$
