De broglie wavelength is given by :
lambda=h/mv, and since kinetic energy=1/2(mv^2)=qV where q is the charge, and V the potential difference
Therefore lambda=h/((2mqV)^0.5))
Putting values,
h= 6.62607004 × 10 -34 m 2 kg / s
m=9.10938356 × 10 -31 kilograms
q=1.60217662 × 10 -19 coulombs
V= 100 volts
We get : lambda=1.2293 Å
