(ii) which particle have longest wavelength when system is in ground state.
In an electron microscope, the nonrelativistic electron beam is formed by a setup similar to the electron gun used in the Davisson– Germer experiment. The electrons have negligible kinetic energy before they are accelerated. What accelerating voltage is needed to produce electrons with wavelength 10 pm = 0.010 nm (roughly 50,000 times smaller than typical visible-light wavelengths)?
In a TV tube an electric potential difference accelerates electrons from a rest position towards a screen. Just before reaching the screen, the electrons have a wavelength of 1.2×10−11?. Determine the kinetic energy of the electrons just before they reach the screen. Your final answer should have units of eV.
