8. At speeds approaching C, the relativistic momentum must be used to calculate the deBroglie wavelength. a (a) Calculate the wavelength of a relativistic electron moving at 0.960c. (b) In order to probe the internal structure of the nucleus, electrons having a wavelength similar to the size of the nucleus can be used. In GeV, what is the kinetic energy of an electron with a wavelength of 1.0 fm, or 1.0 x 10-15 m?
