Physics · Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
Relativistic corrections become necessary when the expression for the classical kinetic energy becomes comparable with the rest mass energy mc2. At what approximate order of magnitude of de Broglie wavelength do relativistic corrections become important for an electron?
- 1λ = 10-2 nm
- 2λ = 10-4 nm✓
- 3λ = 10-1 nm
- 4λ = 10 nm
Correct answer
λ = 10-4 nm
