Homework Statement
An electron of charge e and rest mass m0 is accelerated to relativistic speeds by a potential V. Show that the deBroglie wavelength is given by the expression
lambda= h(2m0eV)-1/2 (1+eV/2m0c2)-1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
eV = gamma m0c2 equation one
p = gamma m0v0 equation two
From first equation, i get
v0 = (c2 - m02c4/e2v2)1/2
However, when i substitute this result into equation two, the expression is nowhere near the proposed expression.
