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....... $KeV$.

Electrons are accelerated through a potential difference $V$ and protons are accelerated through a potential difference $4V$. The de-Broglie wavelengths are $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ for electrons and protons respectively. The ratio of $\frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}$ is given by: (given $m_e$ is the mass of the electron and $m_p$ is the mass of the proton).
