De Broglie Wavelength Simulation
This simulation demonstrates the de Broglie wavelength of electrons accelerated through different potentials. The wavelength is calculated using:
λ = h/p = 1.227/√V nm
Where V is the accelerating potential in volts. In the example: 1.227/√100 = 0.123 nm (X-ray range).
Results:
De Broglie wavelength (λ): 0.123 nm
Electron momentum (p): 5.40 × 10⁻²⁴ kg·m/s
Calculation: 1.227 / √100 = 0.123 nm
Wavelength Comparison:
X-ray range: ~0.01-10 nm
Visible light: ~400-700 nm
This electron's wavelength is in the X-ray range.
