de Brogile Waves 12 1 Atoms are on the order of one Angstrom (A) or 10-10m in size while the diameter of the nucleus is approximately one hundred thousand times smaller. Let's pretend we have a \"classical\" atom where both the atom and its nucleus have a defined position and size. (This it contrary to the laws of quantum mechanics which appear to be true, but it's not a bad approximation.) Our atom has an diameter of 1.2 A and a nucleus that's 1 X10-15m in diameter. 1) What is kinetic energy of a an electron whose de Brogile wave length is equal to the size of this atom?
