1) The de Broglie wavelength of an electron has to do with spatial resolution of an electron microscope, which is often expressed in the unit of length A (Angstrom). Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in A when the electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of: a) 2 kV (a low resolution setting of microscope), b) 200 kV (high resolution). Use the fact that 1 V potential difference causes an electron to gain kinetic energy of 1 electron Volt (eV).

1) The de Broglie wavelength of an electron has to do with spatial resolution of an electron
microscope, which is often expressed in the unit of length A (Angstrom).
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in A when the electron
through a potential difference of:
a) 2 kV (a low resolution setting of microscope),
b) 200 kV (high resolution).
accelerated from rest
Use the fact that 1 V potential difference causes an electron to gain kinetic energy of 1 electron
Volt (eV).
