Question

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference. After acceleration the electron has a de Broglie wavelength of 880 nm. What is the potential difference though which this electron was accelerated

Answer 1

3x10⁴v

Step-by-step explanation:

Using

Wavelength= h/ √(2m.Ke)

880nm = 6.6E-34/√ 2.9.1E-31 x me

Ke= 6.6E-34/880nm x 18.2E -31.

5.6E-27/18.2E-31

= 3 x 10⁴ Volts
