An electron microscope uses magnets to accelerate electrons with negligible initial speed through a potential difference of 50 million volts. Calculate the ratio of the resolution of this electron microscope to the resolution of a microscope that uses visible light with a wavelength of 5.00 × 10−7 m through a circular aperture with an aperture of 5.00 mm.
