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