Question
Part A: Through what potential difference V must electrons be accelerated (from rest) so that they will have the same wavelength as an x-ray of wavelength 0.135 nm ?
Use 6.63×1034 Js for Planck's constant, 9.11×1031 kg for the mass of an electron, and 1.60×1019 C for the charge on an electron. Express your answer using three significant figures.
V = 82.5 V
Part B: Through what potential difference V must electrons be accelerated so they will have the same energy as the x-ray in Part A?
Use 6.63×1034 Js for Planck's constant, 3.00×108 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum, and 1.60×1019 C for the charge on an electron. Express the answer to 3 sig fits.
........I only need help on part B.
Explanation / Answer
Part B)
E = hc/wavelength = edelta V
substituting we get
deltaV = 9208.3 Volts
