In a certain vacuum tube, electrons evaporate from a hot cathode at a slow, steady rate and accelerate from rest through a potential difference of 39.0 V. Then they travel 30.5 cm as they pass through an array of slits and fall on a screen to produce an interference pattern. If the beam current is below a certain value, only one electron at a time will be in flight in the tube. In this situation, the interference pattern still appears, showing that each individual electron can interfere with itself. What is the maximum value for the beam current that will result in only one electron at a time in flight in the tube?
