Question:

The deBroglie wavelength of electron when accelerates through potential V is given by $\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{x} \sqrt{V}}$ then x is equal to :

where m = mass of electron
k = kinetic energy of electron
p = momentum
e = charge

Options:

2 p

2 me

1.2 me

2 mk

Correct Answer:

2 me

Explanation:

Debroglie wavelength is given by 

$ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}$

$\Rightarrow x = 2me$
