The kinetic energy of an electron is increased by 2 times, then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it changes by a factor.
Options
- A1 3
- B1 3
- C3
- D3
Correct answer
B. 1 3
Step-by-step solution
Kinetic Energy, E= 1 2 mv ^2= 1 2 ( mv )^2 ~m = p ^2 2 ~m p = 2 mE ...(i) De-Broglie wavelength, aligned & = h p = h 2 mE & 1 E aligned ...[From(i)] When kinetic energy is increased by 2 times, E ₂= E ₁+2 E ₁=3 E ₁ changes by factor of 1 3
