An electron (mass mm ) with initial velocity \overset{\to}{v} = {v}_{0}\overset{^}{i} + {v}_{0}\overset{^}{j} is in an electric filed \overset{\to}{E} = - {E}_{0}\overset{^}{k} . If λ0{\lambda}_{0} is initial de-Broglie wavelength of electron, its de-Broglie wave length at time tt is given by:

Options

  1. Aλ021+e2E2t2m2v02\dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}^{2}{t}^{2}}{{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}}}
  2. Bλ01+e2E2t2m2v02\dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}}{\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}^{2}{t}^{2}}{{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}}}
  3. Cλ01+e2E2t22m2v02\dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}}{\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}^{2}{t}^{2}}{2{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}}}
  4. Dλ02+e2E2t2m2v02\dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}}{\sqrt{2 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}^{2}{t}^{2}}{{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}}}

Correct answer

C. λ01+e2E2t22m2v02\dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}}{\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}^{2}{t}^{2}}{2{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}}}

Step-by-step solution

Initial velocity of electron,

v = {v}_{0}\overset{^}{i} + {v}_{0}\overset{^}{j} ⇒ \left|u\right| = \sqrt{{v}_{0}^{2} + {v}_{0}^{2}} = {v}_{0}\sqrt{2}

Initial de Broglie wavelength associated with electron,

λ0=hp=hmv02{\lambda}_{0} = \dfrac{h}{p} = \dfrac{h}{m{v}_{0}\sqrt{2}}

now,

v=u+atv = u + at
Velocity as a function of time = {v}_{0}\overset{^}{i} + {v}_{0}\overset{^}{j} + \dfrac{e{E}_{0}}{m}t\overset{^}{k}
so wavelength λ=hm2v02+e2E02m2t2\lambda = \dfrac{h}{m\sqrt{2{v}_{0}^{2} + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}_{0}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}{t}^{2}}}
λ=λ01+e2E022m2v02t2\lambda = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{0}}{\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{{e}^{2}{E}_{0}^{2}}{2{m}^{2}{v}_{0}^{2}}{t}^{2}}}
