For x rays with wavelength 0.0300 nm, the m = 1 inten- sity maximum for a crystal occurs when the angle u in Fig. is 35.8°. At what angle u does the m = 1 maximum occur when a beam of 4.50 keV electrons is used instead? Assume that the electrons also scat- ter from the atoms in the surface plane of this same crystal.
