Accelerators, detectors and particle tracks

Card 1 of 21

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.
