DeBroglie wavelength considering relativistic effects

[*Alice*]

"Electrons are accelerated by a potential of 350kV in an electron microscope. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of those electrons taling relativistic effects into account"


I attempted the following:

W = W(kin) = 350keV

now

W(kin)= (1-gamma)mc^2

so, now one could solve for gamma and find the velocity of the particle.


afterwards p=m*v=h/lambda

HOWEVER: I get a negative result in a root when I try to solve for v. Therefore I think that my energy formula must be wrong (I already excluded calculation errors). Can anyone see it?

I attempted the following:

now

W(kin)= (1-gamma)mc^2

It's (\gamma -1) m c^2 (the gamma factor is always larger or equal to 1)
