Consider two separate ideal gases of electrons and protons having the same number of particles. The temperature of both gases is the same. The ratio of the uncertainty in determining the position of an electron to that of a proton is proportional to :-

The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).
Electrons accelerated by potential $V$ are diffracted from a crystal. If $d = 1\; \text{\AA}$, and $i = 30^{\circ}$, $V$ should be about ....... $V$.
