Damage may be a result of the direct effects of alcohol on the brain or may result indirectly, from a poor general health status or from severe liver disease. For example, thiamine deficiency is a common occurrence in people with alcoholism and results from poor overall nutrition.
In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction. On the diagram above, the distance from point A to point C or from point B to point D would be representative of the wavelength.
1 Calculate the DeBroglie wavelength for (a) a proton with 10 MeV kinetic energy, (b) An electron with 10 MeV kinetic energy, and (c) a 1 gram lead ball moving with a velocity of 10 cm/sec (one erg is one gram cm /sec). 2  Be sure to take account of relativity where needed.
