Question
The electron microscope has been widely used to obtain highly magnified images of biological and other types of materials. When an electron is accelerated through a particular potential field, it attains
a speed of 3.70 x 10 m/s. The mass of the electron is 9.11 x 1031 kg. Planck's constant has the value h 6.63 x 104 3-s. What is the characteristic wavelength of this electron?
Wavelength
m
Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
O No, since atomic red are on the order of 10-50 A.
Ovek, since atomic radil are on the order of 1-5 A
Once tamic radi are on the order of 1-5 A
