In a Young double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 50 μm and the distance of the screen from the slits is 5 cm. An infrared monochromatic light is used to produce an interference pattern with fringe width 1 mm. If the light source is replaced by an electron source to produce the same fringe width then the speed of the electrons is approximately

Since fringe width is equal after replacing electron source, then wavelength of electron is that of IR light. So electron should naturally travel at light velocity
