If electrons are used in young's double slit experiment

If electrons are used in young's double slit experiment and their speed is increased what will happen to the fringe width

is the fringe width is increased or decreased or it is same?

there is or was fringe's patterns it will remain the same(fringe width) the fringe width will decrease the fringe width will increase

as λ=h/\sqrt{2mK.E}. λ=h/\sqrt{m^2V^2}. as the velocity get increased the denominator will increase hence the λ will get decreased.

as fringe width=λD/d. where D=distance between slit and screen. d=distance between slits. the λ is decreased . hence fringe width will decrease .

uncertainty in momentum increases as velocity increases, thus uncertainty in position decreases. not sure if the reasoning is right lol
