As we will see,
sometimes the probability of something happening ``accidently'' turns
out to be zero (See Section 3.), but the possibility
must always be considered.
For
completeness, we note here that the full three-dimensional arrangement
is somewhat more complicated than implied here. It consists of
multiple sets of planes at various spacings, with the spacing
Å being the most prominent.
Once you
accept this as experimental fact for all elementary particles, you can prove as
a theorem that the same relation holds for the center of mass
motion of any object composed of such particles. Thus, you can also use
the same value of the constant for a baseball or yourself.
Because there is nothing in the experiment to add
energy to the particles, they all do arrive with the same magnitude of momentum , as the figure shows.
