Why do particle accelerators require high energies to probe the internal structure of atoms?
Higher energy particles become electrically neutral, allowing them to resolve smaller distances.
Higher energy particles travel in straight lines through atoms, allowing them to resolve smaller distances.
Higher energy particles have longer de Broglie wavelengths, allowing them to resolve smaller distances.
Higher energy particles have shorter de Broglie wavelengths, allowing them to resolve smaller distances.
