E2 solutions: Wave particle duality
1. Given that the resolving power of a microscope is proportional to the 1/wavelength of radiation used, show that if 600nm light is replaced with electrons accelerated through a Pd of 40,000V the resolving power will increase by a factor 105. Note: The resolving power also depends on the size of the aperture and the refractive index of the lenses. In this calculation assume all of this is constant, in reality of...
