A beam of electrons passes through a narrow hole and then strikes a screen. After the beam passes through the hole, it is found that the beam spreads because the electrons have acquired an average momentum of p transverse (perpendicular) to the direction of their original motion. If the hole is made larger, does the average transverse momentum become larger, become smaller, or stay the same?

A submarine is 285 m horizontally from the shore of a freshwater lake and 111 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 201 m from the shore.
