3:42 ul 5G Done 1 of 2 In the classical limit calculate the wavelength corresponding to an electron with the energy of 93 keV (kiloelectronvolt). Give your answer in Angstrom (1010 m, for example, if the answer is 1.6x10¯10 m, then write 1.6 as your answer). This should give you a good idea why one can use a crystal lattice with an average interatomic distance of around 1o-10 m to observe electron diffraction. +)
