Question:

Electron is accelerated by 100 volt potential difference. Its wavelength will be comparable to that of :

Options:

Infrared radiator

Microwave

X-rays

Radio waves

Correct Answer:

X-rays

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : X-rays

de-Broglie wavelength of electron =$\frac{1.227}{\sqrt{V}}nm$

$=\frac{1.227}{\sqrt{100}}$

$=0.1227\, nm$

Range of X-rays (0.01 - 10 ) nm
