I need help with this question. Originally I got 3 degrees for the answer, but it appears that this is incorrect and I don't know what went wrong. Here is the question:
Electrons with an energy of 0.610 eV are incident on a double slit in which the two slits are separated by 60.0 nm. Electron speed is 4.63e+05 m/s and the de Broglis wavelength of the electrons is 1.57 nm. What is the angle between the two second-order maxima in the resulting interference pattern.
I really appreciate the help!

- When we model light (EM radiation) as a particle, we call it a photon a packet of energy. How does this work with the model of light as a wave? To think through this, answer the following: If the intensity of a beam of light is related to the number of photons passing per second, how would you explain the intensity of light using the model of light as a wave?
