We wish to see inside an atom. Assuming the atom to have a diameter of $100 \ pm$, this means that one must be able to resolve a width of say $10 \ pm$. If an electron microscope is used, the minimum electron energy required is about....... $KeV$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $0.15$

If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is $5200 \ \mathring{A}$,what is its velocity?

$A$ proton and an alpha particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of the proton to that of the alpha particle will be (mass of alpha particle is four times the mass of the proton,and the charge of the alpha particle is twice the charge of the proton).
