An electron beam is incident on a single slit of width a. The electron beam was generated using a potential difference of magnitude V. After passing through the slit, the diffracted electrons are collected on a screen that is a distance L away from the slit. Assume that Vis small enough so that the electrons are nonrelativistic. Ultimately, you will find the width of the central maximum for the diffraction pattern. Part B What is the wavelength of the electron beam?
