JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

A stream of electrons from a heated filaments was passed two charged plates kept at a potential difference \(V\, esu.\) If \(e\) and \(m\) are charge and mass of an electron, respectively, then the value of \(h/\lambda ,\) (where \(\lambda\) is wavelength associated with electron wave) is given by :

  1. A \(\sqrt {meV}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt {2meV}\)
  3. C \(meV\)
  4. D \(2meV\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt {2meV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy \(=e V=\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}\) \(u=\sqrt{\frac{2 e V}{m}}\) Here, u is the velocity of the electron. The de broglie wavelength is \(\lambda=\frac{h}{m u}\) \(\frac{h}{\lambda}=m u\) Substitute equation (1) in equation (2)…
