An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. (b) Would such an electron be useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment? Address this question by deter- mining the angle at which a first-order diffraction maximum would be found using the same nickel target as Davisson and Germer.
