Question
![Learning Goal:
To understand how to find the wavelength and
diffraction patterns of electrons.
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? Use the de Broglie relation and the momentum that
you found in Part A.
Express your answer in terms of h, me, e, and V.
