Use both the relativistic form of the De Broglie equation (?/?compton) and the non-relativistic De Broglie equation ? = h/p (with p = m v) to calculate the wavelengths of electrons that move with 1% the speed of light.
Does your calculation convince you that one can often ignore relativistic effects if an electron moves with less than 1% of the speed of light (because the numerical results obtained from both formulae are then sufficiently close to each other)?
