The equation λ = 1 . 227 x nm can be used to find the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron. In this equation x stands for : Where, m = mass of electron P = momentum of electron K = Kinetic energy of electron V = Accelerating potential in volts for electron
Options
- Am K
- BP
- CK
- DV
Correct answer
D. V
Step-by-step solution
The de-Broglie's wavelength is given by λ = h m v , where, h is Planck's constant and v is velocity. Using relation between momentum and kinetic energy, we have λ = h 2   m KE Here, kinetic energy of electron is stated as K E = q V . Then, we have λ = h 2 m q V Putting the values of m = 9 . 1 × 10 - 31   kg   and   q = 1 . 62 × 10 - 19   C of electron We get, λ = 1 . 22 V   nm . So, x stand for V .
