Wave-Particle Duality
 

Wave-Particle Duality problem 1


  • State the de Broglie relation, explaining any symbols you use.


  • An electron of mass has kinetic energy . Show that the de Broglie wavelength of this electron is given by




  • Calculate the potential difference through which an electron, initially at rest, must be accelerated so that its de Broglie wavelength is equal to (the diameter of an atom).
