JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A particle moving with kinetic energy \(E\) has de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\). If energy \(\Delta \mathrm{E}\) is added to its energy, the wavelength become \(\frac {\lambda}{2} .\) Value of \(\Delta \mathrm{E},\) is 

  1. A \(2E\)
  2. B \(E\)
  3. C \(3E\)
  4. D \(4E\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3E\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

de-Broglie wavelength \(=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mE}}}=\lambda\) Also, \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{m}(\mathrm{E}+\Delta \mathrm{E})}}=\frac{\lambda}{2}\)…
