In an electron microscope, electrons are accelerated by passing them through a voltage difference. The kinetic energy thus acquired by the electrons is equal to the voltage times the charge on the electron. Thus, a voltage difference of 1 volt imparts a kinetic energy of 1.602 ×  10−19 volt-coulomb or 1.602 ×  10−19 J.  Calculate the wavelength associated with electrons accelerated by 4.00 × 103 volts.

Question

In an electron microscope, electrons are accelerated by passing them through a voltage difference. The kinetic energy thus acquired by the electrons is equal to the voltage times the charge on the electron. Thus, a voltage difference of 1 volt imparts a kinetic energy of 1.602 ×  10−19 volt-coulomb or 1.602 ×  10−19 J. 

Calculate the wavelength associated with electrons accelerated by 4.00 × 103 volts.
