11.33 An electron microscope uses electrons accelerated by a voltage of 50 kV. Determine the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons. If other factors (such as numerical aperture, etc.) are taken to be roughly the same, how does the resolving power of an electron microscope compare with that of an optical microscope which uses yellow light?

11.33 The accelerating voltage of the electrons, V = 50 kV = 50 V
Mass of the electron, = 9.11 kg
Planck's constant, h = 6.626 Js
Charge of an electron, e = 1.6 C
Wavelength of yellow light, = 5.9 m
The kinetic energy of the electron is given as, = e = 1.6 50 J = 8 J

h/√2mk? = (1/2.3) × h/√2mk?
=> k? = (2.3)²k? = 5.25k? (ii)
Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25
=> Φ = 3eV
