The de Broglie equation is:
lambda =h/(mv)=h/p
lambda =wavelength= 10.0 pm = 10x 10^-12 m
h= Planck's constant= 6.6261x 10 ^(- 34) J ...
Solution Summary
In this solution, we calculate the energy that must be imparted to each electron of the beam of electrons in an electron microscope to obtain a wavelength of 10.0pm.
