An electron beam is mirrored by a pair of slits separated by a distance d. On a screen placed at a distance L from the slits, light and dark bangs form. The experimental arrangemente pattern is analogous to that of the double slit optical interference experiment (see figure below). If yn is the location of the nth light fringe relative to the central point between the slits (central maximum), what is the energy of the nth fringe?center), what is the energy of the electrons that are measured at yn?
