A Single Slit Is Illuminated at Normal Incidence with a Parallel

question 34

Multiple Choice

A single slit is illuminated at normal incidence with a parallel beam of light having a wavelength of 411 nm. The entire central band of the diffraction pattern is observed at ±90°. The illumination is now replaced by a nonrelativistic beam of electrons, each having a kinetic energy of 980 eV. When this beam hits the slit at normal incidence, at what angle will the first minimum of the electron diffraction pattern occur? (h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s, mel = 9.11 × 10^-31 kg, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10^-19 J)

• A) 0.095 mrad

• C) 0.046 mrad
• D) 0.12 mrad
• E) 0.14 mrad
