Answer

Diffraction effects are observed for beams of electrons scattered by the crystals.

$\lambda = \frac{1.227 nm}{\sqrt{\text{V}}}$

$\lambda = \frac{1.227nm}{\sqrt{120}}$

Value $ = \lambda= 0.112 \text{ nm}$

Alternate Answer

$\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{meV}}}$

$ = \frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times120}}$

$\lambda = 0.112\text{ nm }$.

Answer the following question:
Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?
