(b) In Davisson and Germer experiment, it was noted that the energy of an electron increases while entering a crystal, reducing its de-Broglie wavelength. Consider a 54 eV electron beam that is aimed at a nickel target. An electron that reaches the target increases its potential energy by 26 eV. What will be the speed and de-Broglic wavelength of clectron inside the nickel target?
