The energy of the nucleon in the nucleus is in the order of 10 MeV.
Q1 Calculate the velocity of a 10 MeV proton and show that it is almost
15% of the speed of light. (Perform both classical and relativistic calculations).
\ Relativistic effects are not important in considering the motion of nucleons
in the nucleus.
Q2 Calculate the wavelength of a 10 MeV proton. Compare it to the
Basic Calculations
nuclear scale.
Q3 Calculate the wavelength for an electron of the same energy to
show that it is much too large to be within the nucleus
