how do you measure the speed of a electron?

Open in App

Solution

Speed of electron is mainly calculated experimentally by the X-ray method. But if we know the energy of electron, then speed can be calculated by using this formula:
K.E. = 1/2 mv²
V = Speed of electron
m = Mass of electron = 9.10 * 10^-31 kilograms
