The de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated through a potential difference V is λ. The new de Broglie wavelength of electron when potential difference is increased to 9V will be: |
9λ $\frac{λ}{3}$ 3λ $\frac{λ}{9}$ |
$\frac{λ}{3}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{λ}{3}$ According to De-broglie, $λ=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}$ $∴λ∝\frac{1}{\sqrt{V}}$ and, $λ'=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2me9V}}=\frac{4}{3\sqrt{2meV}}=\frac{λ}{3}$ |
