We wish to see inside an atom. Assuming the atom to have a diameter of $100 \ pm$, this means that one must be able to resolve a width of say $10 \ pm$. If an electron microscope is used, the minimum electron energy required is about....... $KeV$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $0.15$
