The kinetic energy of an electron gets tripled, then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it changes by a factor
Options
- A1 3
- B3
- C1 3
- D3
Correct answer
C. 1 3
Step-by-step solution
de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by = h mv = h 2 mK or 1 K ^ = 1 3 ~K K 1 = 1 3 or ^ = 3 Hence, de-Broglie wavelength will change by factor 1 3 .
