4(a) Sketch: Sketch must be labelled. (2)
● Concentric rings with bright spot at centre (1)
Explanation:
● Maxima correspond to constructive interference and minima
correspond to destructive interference. (1)
4(b) Ring separation would decrease (1) (2)
because electron de Broglie wavelength has decreased. (1)
