- To resolve an object in an electron microscope, the electrons' wavelength must be close to the diameter of the object. What kinetic energy must the electrons have in order to resolve a protein molecule that is 8.10 nm in diameter? Take the mass of an electron to be 9.11 ×× 1031 kg.arrow_forwardThe de Broglie wavelength of an electron has to do with spatial resolution of an electron microscope, which is often expressed in the unit of length Å (Angstrom). The 1 V potential difference causes an electron to gain kinetic energy EK of 1 electron Volt (eV). In the SI units, kinetic energy in eV must be converted to Joules. The conversion factor is 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 Joule. And, the formula for the wavelength is: λ = h / p = h / √(2 m EK) where m is electron mass. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron (in Å) when the electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of: a) 1 kV = 1,000 V (a low resolution setting of microscope), b) 10 kV = 10,000 V (intermediate resolution). c) 100 kV = 100,000 V (high resolution),arrow_forwardAn electron microscope passes 1.00-pm-wavelength electrons through a circular aperture 2.00 µm in diameter.
