Calculate the wavelength of an electron that has been accelerated in a particle accelerator through a potential difference of 100 million volts.

How should I proceed in this.

If V is the pot. diff. then eV=Kinetic Energy.

Once kinetic energy is known wavelength can be found using the wave behaviour concept.
