Homework Statement
Suppose that visible light incident on a diffraction grating with slit distance (space) of $0.01*10^{-3}$ has the first max at the angle of $3.6^{o}$ from the central peak. Suppose electrons can be diffracted with this same grating, which velocity of the electron would create the same diffraction pattern as this visible light?
Homework Equations
d*sin(theta) = m(lamba)
The Attempt at a Solution
I am thinking of using equations like $d\sin(\theta) = m\lambda$, but I am not sure where the angle comes into play here.
Obviously,
$(0.01 mm)(\sin(3.6)) = m\lambda$, but this doesn't help much?
