Electron diffraction provides evidence for the wave-like behaviour of particles. A thin graphite film diffracts electrons. Electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 300 V. The final speed of the electrons is 1.0 × 107 ms−1.
What is the de Broglie wavelength λ (m) of the electrons?
7.1 × 10−11
8.3 × 10−11
9.3 × 10−11
10.3 × 10−11

In an experiment the de Broglie wavelength of an electron after being accelerated through a potential difference (p.d) V is λ1.
The accelerating p.d is now tripled.
What is the new de Broglie wavelength of the electron in terms of λ1?
