The wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).
Electrons accelerated by potential $V$ are diffracted from a crystal. If $d = 1\; \text{\AA}$, and $i = 30^{\circ}$, $V$ should be about ....... $V$.
