Question 29 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2022 • PHYSICS • objective

Electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of \(1500\ \text{V}\) and then directed onto a thin crystal whose lattice spacing is \(d = 0.20\ \text{nm}\). The first‑order diffraction maximum is observed at an angle \(\theta\) to the incident beam. Assuming the electron wave obeys the de Broglie relation \(\lambda = h/p\) and Bragg's law \(n\lambda = 2d\sin\theta\) with \(n=1\), calculate \(\theta\) in degrees. Use \(h = 6.626\times10^{-34}\ \text{J·s}\), \(m_e = 9.11\times10^{-31}\ \text{kg}\), and \(e = 1.602\times10^{-19}\ \text{C}\). Give your answer to one decimal place.
