[20 points.] Reflection high-energy electron diffraction2 is a technique where electrons with a kinetic energy of up to 100,000 eV probe the atomic structure of crystalline surfaces. How fast do these electrons travel, as measured from a stationary reference frame? Express your answer as a factor of c. Show your work and explain your reasoning.
Solution and grading rubric:
- p = 20/20:
Correct. - r = 16/20:
Nearly correct, but includes minor math errors. - t = 12/20:
Nearly correct, but approach has conceptual errors, and/or major/compounded math errors. - v = 8/20:
Implementation of right ideas, but in an inconsistent, incomplete, or unorganized manner. - x = 4/20:
Implementation of ideas, but credit given for effort rather than merit. - y = 2/20:
Irrelevant discussion/effectively blank. - z = 0/20:
Blank.
