If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is 2 nm, then its kinetic energy is nearly
(Planck's constant \(=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}\) and mass of electron \(=9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) )

  1. A 0.48 eV
  2. B 0.68 eV
  3. C 0.38 eV
  4. D 0.25 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.38 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(KE = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}\) \(KE = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J~s})^2}{2 \times (9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}) \times (2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m})^2}\) \(KE = \frac{43.56 \times 10^{-68}}{72 \times 10^{-49}} \mathrm{~J}\)…
