What voltage must be applied to an elect-non microscope to produce electrons of wavelength `0.4A`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the voltage that must be applied to an electron microscope to produce electrons of wavelength \(0.4 \, \text{Å}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between wavelength and voltage The wavelength of an electron can be related to the voltage applied using the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m eV}} \] where: ...
