An electron accelerated through a potential difference V1{V}_{1} has a de-Broglie wavelength of λ\lambda. When the potential is changed to V2{V}_{2}, its de-Broglie wavelength increases by 5050 %. The value of (V1V2)\left(\dfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}}\right) is equal to :

Options

  1. A33
  2. B94\dfrac{9}{4}
  3. C32\dfrac{3}{2}
  4. D44

Correct answer

B. 94\dfrac{9}{4}

Step-by-step solution

Let initial wavelength be λ\lambda, then after 5050 % increase wavelength will become 1.5λ1 . 5\lambda.

Now, KE=P22m=eV and P=hλKE = \dfrac{{P}^{2}}{2m} = eV \text{ and } P = \dfrac{h}{\lambda}

Therefore, eV=(hλ)22meV = \dfrac{{\left(\dfrac{h}{\lambda}\right)}^{2}}{2m}.

So we can write

eV1=(hλ)22m...Eq(1)e{V}_{1} = \dfrac{{\left(\dfrac{h}{\lambda}\right)}^{2}}{2m} . . . Eq ( 1 ) and

eV2=(h1.5λ)22m...Eq(2)e{V}_{2} = \dfrac{{\left(\dfrac{h}{1 . 5\lambda}\right)}^{2}}{2m} . . . Eq ( 2 )

From both equations, we get

V1V2=(1.5)2=94\dfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} = {\left(1 . 5\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{9}{4}
