A proton accelerated through potential difference V has de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\). On doubling the potential, the de Broglie wavelength of the proton :
- A remains unchanged
- B becomes double
- C becomes four times
- D decreases
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) decreases
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\) \(\lambda_1 = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\) \(\lambda_2 = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mq(2V)}}\) \(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) decreases
