Answer:
What is the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1keV?

The question isn’t quite right, potential difference is specified in V (volt) not eV (electron volt). Electron volt is a unit of energy not potential difference. So I’m assuming OP meant a potential difference of 1kV .
In that case, the energy of the electron is:
E=q×V
E=1.6×10−19×1000
E=0.00000000000000016J
Now, The kinetic energy of an electron with respect to its momentum is specified as:
E=p22m
Combining both the energy equations,
p22m=0.00000000000000016
p2=2.912×10−46
p=1.706×10−23kgm/s
Therefore, the de Broglie’s wavelength is given by,
λ=hp
So, the wavelength here is,
λ=6.62×10−341.706×10−23
λ=3.880×10−11m
λ=0.0388nm
