Students have asked these similar questions
What is the velocity of an electron with a deBroglie wavelength of 2.74 um ? Give your answer in m/s with no decimal places please.
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?
(b)
Calculate De Broblie wavelength of an electron with kinetic energy 50.0 keV.
