Wave-Particle Duality problem 11


  • State what is meant by the de Broglie wavelength.


  • An electron is accelerated from rest in a vacuum through a potential difference of .


    • Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the accelerated electron.


    • By reference to your answer in (i), suggest why such electrons may assist with an understanding of crystal structure.
