An α -particle moves in a circular path of radius 1 cm in a uniform magnetic field of 0 . 125 T . The de Broglie wavelength associated with the α -particle is
Options
- A1 . 65 × 10 - 12   m
- B3 . 3 × 10 - 12   m
- C4 . 95 × 10 - 12   m
- D6 . 6 × 10 - 12   m
Correct answer
A. 1 . 65 × 10 - 12   m
Step-by-step solution
The expression for the circular path in a uniform magnetic fields is, R = m v q B m v = q R B We know that de-Broglie wavelength of a charged particle is given by, λ = h m v Substitute the expression in the above equation. λ = h R q α B λ = h ( + 2 e ) B R λ = 6 . 6 × 10 - 34 2 × 1 . 6 × 10 - 19 × 0 . 125 × 1 × 10 - 2 = 1 . 65 × 10 - 12   m
