Step 1
We can use the de Broglie wavelength formula to find the wavelength of the electrons. The formula is given by λ = h / p, where λ is the wavelength, h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s), and p is the momentum of the electrons. The momentum can be Show more…

The 54.0 -eV electron in Example 29.7 has a 0.167 -nm wavelength. If such electrons are passed through a double slit and have their first maximum at an angle of $25.0^{\circ},$ what is the slit separation $d ?$
