A single slit is illuminated at normal incidence with a parallel beam of light having a wavelength of The entire central band of the diffraction pattern is observed at ±90°

The illumination is now replaced by a nonrelativistic beam of electrons, each having a kinetic energy of 980 eV. When this beam hits the slit at normal incidence, at what angle will the first minimum of the electron diffraction pattern occur?
