Answer

$\Delta V = 6.02 \times 10^{-6}~V$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required speed: $\lambda = \frac{h}{m~v}$ $v = \frac{h}{m~\lambda}$ $v = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s}{(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)(500\times 10^{-9}~m)}$ $v = 1.4548\times 10^{3}~m/s$ We can find the kinetic energy: $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ $K = (\frac{1}{2})(9.109\times 10^{-31}~kg)(1.4548\times 10^{3}~m/s)^2$ $K = 9.639\times 10^{-25}~J$ We can find the required potential difference: $\Delta V~\vert q \vert = K$ $\Delta V = \frac{K}{\vert q \vert}$ $\Delta V = \frac{9.639\times 10^{-25}~J}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~C}$ $\Delta V = 6.02 \times 10^{-6}~V$
