To determine
How does the wavelength of a helium ion compare to that of an electron accelerated through the same potential difference from the following options:
(a) The helium ion has a longer wavelength, because it has greater mass.
(b) The helium ion has a shorter wavelength, because it has greater mass.
(c) The wavelengths are the same, because the kinetic energy is same.
(d) The wavelengths are the same, because the electric energy is same.

- Suppose you need to image the structure of a virus with a diameter of 50 nm. For a sharp image, the wavelength of the probing wave must be 5.0 nm or less. We have seen that, for imaging such small objects, this short wavelength is obtained by using an electron beam in an electron microscope. Why don't we simply use short-wavelength electromagnetic waves? There's a problem with this approach: As the wavelength gets shorter, the energy of a photon of light gets greater and could damage or destroy the object being studied. Let's compare the energy of a photon and an electron that can provide the same resolution.
