If an electron is to be diffracted significantly by a crystal, its wavelength must be about equal to the spacing, d, of crystalline planes. Assuming d = 0.350 nm, estimate the potential difference through which an electron must be accelerated from rest if it is to be diffracted by these planes
(b) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron having a mass of 9.11
x 10-31 kg and a charge of 1.602 x 10-19 J with a Kinetic energy of 110 eV.
The value of the Planck’s constant is equal to 6.63 * 10-34 Js.
To study crystal diffraction we need wavelengths of about 0.5 x 10-10 m.
What would be the corresponding kinetic energies in eV of (a) a photon,
(b) an electron, and (c) a neutron?
