Electrons in an electron microscope have kinetic energy of 2.0 * 10 eV. (Assume non-relativistic kinetic energy 1/2 mv)
(a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons:
(b) Find the ratio of this wavelength to the wavelength of light at the middle of the visible spectrum (550 nm):
(c) How many times greater magnification is theoretically possible with this microscope than with a light microscope?
Find the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated across a 32,160 potential difference in a TV tube.
Is it reasonable to treat the electron beam as a beam of particles?
