If they placed a detector at the slits in the experiment described above to measure which slit each electron went through, what would happen?

In another important experiment used to determine the nature of atoms, a gas like hydrogen, neon or mercury is excited by sparking it with electricity. The light emitted is separated out into individual colors using a prism or diffraction grating and a few lines of colored light are seen. How do atoms produce these lines of light?

When you compare the mass of the products to the mass of the reactants in a fission reaction, what do you find? (Note the question is asking about mass, not mass number.)

The next two questions deal with this situation: In one early experiment that helped determine the structure of matter, alpha particles were shot at a thin sheet of gold foil. The particles were detected on a screen that could be moved about the room.

Which of these is a correct comparison of metals and semi-conductors?
