A linear charged particle accelerator is driven by an alternating voltage source operating at 10 MHz. Assume that it is used to accelerate electrons. After a few drift-tubes, the electrons attain a velocity 2.9 × 10^8 m s⁻¹. The minimum length of each drift-tube, in m, to accelerate the electrons further (rounded off to one decimal place) is _____.
