Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

The equation λ=1.227x nm\lambda = \frac{1.227}{x}\text{ nm} can be used to find the de-Brogli wavelength of an electron. In this equation xx stands for:

Where

m=\mathrm{m} = mass of electron

P=\mathrm{P} = momentum of electron

K=\mathrm{K} = Kinetic energy of electron

V=\mathrm{V} = Accelerating potential in volts for electron

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. For an electron accelerated through VV: λ=h2meV=1.227V\lambda = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}} = \dfrac{1.227}{\sqrt{V}} nm.
  2. So x=Vx = \sqrt{V}.
  3. So the answer is (d) V\sqrt{V}.
