(a) If electrons were used (electron microscope), what minimum kinetic energy would be required for the electrons

  K = 1.6 10⁻¹⁵ J

Explanation:

In an electron microscope, electrons are used to form images, these electrons are accelerated in electric fields so that they have a kinetic energy that allows obtaining a good amplification with the microscope.

electrical potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

                U = K

                e V = ½ m v²

                v = √2eV /m

the wavelength of these electrons we obtain from the de Broglie equation

                λ = h / p

p = mv

               λ = h / mv

               λ = h / mra 2eV / m

               λ = h / ra 2eVm

where we can see that as the potential energy increases, it electrifies the shorter the wavelength of the electrons and consequently the greater the magnification of the microscope

in general these microscopes use from 10000X onwards therefore for this saponification

                K = e V

               K = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 10000

               K = 1.6 10⁻¹⁵ J

i think the answer would be reserve.
