Electron Wavelength (Accelerated)

Wavelength of an electron accelerated through potential V. Used in electron microscopy and diffraction experiments.

Variables

\lambda
de Broglie wavelength
m
h
Planck constant
J·s
m_e
Electron mass
kg
e
Electron charge
C
V
Accelerating voltage
V

Derivation

Combining kinetic energy eV = p²/2m with de Broglie relation λ = h/p.
