If the kinetic energy of the particle is increased to 16 times its previous value. The percentage change in de Broglie wavelength of the particle is:

  1. A 25%
  2. B 75%
  3. C 90%
  4. D 300%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 75%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}\) \(\lambda_2 = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m(16K_1)}} = \frac{1}{4} \lambda_1\) Percentage change \( = \frac{\lambda_2 - \lambda_1}{\lambda_1} \times 100\% = \frac{\frac{1}{4}\lambda_1 - \lambda_1}{\lambda_1} \times 100\%\)…
