Interference Diffraction 
It is due to the superposition of two 
waves coming from two coherent 
sources. 
It is due to the superposition of

Thus, electric and magnetic forces are in opposite directions.  
Suppose we adjust the values of E and B such that magnitudes of the two forces

Thus, electric and magnetic forces are in opposite directions.  
Suppose we adjust the values of E and B such that magnitudes of the two forces 
are equal, then the total force on the charge is zero and the charge will move in 
the fields undeflected. This happens when

This condition can be used to select charged particles of a particular velocity out 
of a beam containing charges moving with different speeds (irrespective of their 
charge and mass). The crossed E and B fields therefore serve as a velocity 
selector. 
 
9. It is given that the energy of the electron beam used to bombard gaseous 
hydrogen at room temperature is 12.5 eV.  
Also, the energy of the gaseous hydrogen in its ground state at room 
temperature is -13.6 eV. 
When gaseous hydrogen is bombarded with an electron beam, the energy of the 
gaseous hydrogen becomes -13.6 + 12.5 eV = -1.1 eV. 
Orbital energy related to orbit level (n) is

This energy is approximately equal to the energy of gaseous hydrogen.  
This implies that the electron has jumped from n = 1 to n = 3 level.  
During its de-excitation, electrons can jump from n = 3 to n = 1 directly, which 
forms a line of the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum.
