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.
Determine the de Broglie wavelength for (a) an electron () moving at a speed of and (b) a baseball () moving at a speed of 13 m/s. Reasoning In each case, the de Broglie wavelength is given by Equation 29.8 as Planck s constant divided by the magnitude of the momentum.sing this expression in Equation 29.8 for the de Broglie wavelength, we obtain A de Broglie wavelength of is about the size of the interatomic spacing in a solid, such as the nickel crystal used by Davisson and Germer, and, therefore, leads to the observed diffraction effects.
