Electron is accelerated by 100 volt potential difference. Its wavelength will be comparable to that of : |
Infrared radiator Microwave X-rays Radio waves |
X-rays |
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 |
