The de Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy of a particle is 2000 Å and 1 eV respectively. If its kinetic energy becomes 1 MeV, then its de Broglie wavelength becomes |
1 Å 5 Å 2 Å 10 Å |
2 Å |
As $λ=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}$ Since mass of the particle remains constant $∴λ∝\frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}$ $\frac{λ'}{λ}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{K'}}=\sqrt{\frac{1eV}{1×10^6eV}}=\frac{1}{10^3}$ or $λ'=\frac{λ}{10^3}=\frac{2000}{10^3}Å=2Å$ |
