Question

In an electron-diffraction experiment using an accelerating voltage of 54 V, an intensity maximum occurs for u = 50° (see Fig. ). X-ray diffraction indicates that the atomic spacing in the target is d = 2.18 * 10-10 m = 0.218 nm. The electrons have negligible kinetic energy before being accelerated. Find the electron wavelength.
