In order for scattering to occur, the wavelength of the waves must be of the same order of magnitude or smaller than the size of the object being observed. Hence the largest possible wavelength we can use in the present problem is \lambda _{max} = 2.5 \AA . Hence minimum energy is \mathrm{E}_{\min }=\mathrm{h} v_{\min }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\max }}=\frac{12.40 \times 10^3}{2.5 \AA} \mathrm{eV} \cdot \AA=4.96 \times 10^3 \mathrm{eV}=5 \mathrm{KeV}
