Show that the cutoff wavelength (in picometers) in the continuous x-ray spectrum from any target is given by lmin = 1240/V, where V is the potential difference (in kilovolts) through which the electrons are accelerated before they strike the target.
What must be the velocity, in meters per second, of a beam of electrons if they are to display a de Broglie wavelength of 29.1 μm?
Calculate the minimum-wavelength x-ray that can be produced when a target is struck by an electron that has been accelerated through a potential difference of 21.0 kV and 1.10 ✕ 102 kV.

- The de Broglie wavelength of an electron has to do with spatial resolution of an electron microscope, which is often expressed in the unit of length Å (Angstrom). The 1 V potential difference causes an electron to gain kinetic energy EK of 1 electron Volt (eV). In the SI units, kinetic energy in eV must be converted to Joules. The conversion factor is 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 Joule. And, the formula for the wavelength is: λ = h / p = h / √(2 m EK) where m is electron mass.
