Here is the full question:

A beam of electrons is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 0.400 kV and then passes through a thin slit. When viewed far from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima at ± 15.1° from the original direction of the beam.

How wide is the slit?

Answer:

0.235 nm

Explanation:

Given that:

The potential difference (V) = 0.400 kV = 400 V

angle  of diffraction (θ) = 15.1°

Using the conservation energy to determine the seed of the electron; we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV

Making v the subject of the formula; we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}

where our constants are

m = 9*10^{-31} kg

e = 1.60*10^{-19} C

given potential difference (V) = 0.400 kV = 400 V

substituting our parameters; we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.60*10^{-19}C(400V)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}}

v= 11.90 *10^6ms^{-1

From De broglie wave equation;

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}    --------------Equation(1)

Davisson and Germer Experiment also shows that;

asin \theta=n \lambda

making \lambda the subject of the formula; we have:

\lambda = \frac{asin \theta}{n}  --------------- Equation (2)

Equating equation (1) and (2); we have:

\frac{asin \theta }{n} =\frac{h}{mv}

{asin \theta } =n\frac{h}{mv}

a=\frac{n}{sin \theta}(\frac{h}{mv}  )       -----------  Equation(3)

where;

a = width of the slit

n = order of diffraction

θ = angle of diffraction

Since we were told that when the beam of electrons were viewed from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima ;

then (n) = first order = 1

where: h = 6.63 *10^{-34} kgm^2s^{-1}

n = 1

m = 9.1*10^{-31}kg

v= 11.90 *10^6ms^{-1

θ  = 15. 1°

Substituting our values into equation (3); we have:

a=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}*(1)}{(9.1*10^{-31})(11.9*10^6)(sin15.1)}

a=2.35*10^{-10}m

Converting m to nm; we have

a=(2.350*10^{-10}m)(\frac{1nm}{10^{-9}m} )

a = 2.35*10^{-1}nm

a = 0.235 nm

∴ the width of the slit = 0.235 nm

I hope that helps alot!

I don't understand any of this please help !

You can see what is the electron configuration by looking at the layout of the periodic tables. the first shell will have a max of 2 electrons on it, once the first one is filled up a second is added with a max of 8 electrons on it and so on with the 8 as a max. so He, and H will only have them on the first shell but every horizontal row is a new valence or outer shell. so lets say for carbon look at the number in the upper left corner of the box will tell you the total number of electrons you will need. so start off with the first two electrons on the first shell. now you know that carbon needs 6 electrons in total, since you can only have a max of 2 on the first shell you need a second one so on the second one you will have to have the remaining 4. now elements are most stable when they have a full valence shell becuase those are the only electrons that will react with others. so if carbon has 4 it wants to either gain or lose 4 electrons so you could say that it would bond with 4H since each H will donate 1 electron to the C valence shell making all the H and C stable.
