Q26.In an electron microscope, the resolution that can be achieved is of the order of the wavelength of electrons used. To resolve a width of 7.5 × 10−12 m, the minimum electron energy required is close to: (1) 100 keV (2) 25 keV (3) 1 keV (4) 500 keV

What This Question Tests

This question links the de Broglie wavelength required for a certain resolution to the kinetic energy of the electron, involving calculations with Planck's constant and electron mass.

Concepts Tested

De Broglie wavelengthKinetic energy of electronMomentum-energy relation

Formulas Used

λ = h/p

E_k = p²/(2m)
