Q. The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated through a potential difference of $100 \, V$ is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

De-Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by
$\lambda =\frac{h}{m v}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m e V}}-\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}Å$
( $h=$ Planck's constant)
Where, $m=$ mass of electron, $e=$ electronic charge and $V=$ potential difference with which electron is accelerated.
$\lambda =\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{100}}Å=\frac{12.27}{10}Å$
$=1.227 \, Å$
