AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

An alpha particle moves along a circular path of radius 0.5 mm in a magnetic field of \(2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~T}\). The de Broglie wavelength associated with the alpha particle is nearly
\(\left(\right.\) Planck's constant \(\left.=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)

  1. A \(3.1 Å\)
  2. B \(1.1 Å\)
  3. C \(0.1 Å\)
  4. D \(2.1 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.1 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(p = qBr\) \(\lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{qBr}\) \(\lambda = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(2 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}) \times (2 \times 10^{-2}) \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3})}\) \(\lambda \approx 2.069 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\) \(\lambda \approx 2.1 \text{ Å}\)
