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 

Pick an option to check your answer.
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, \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{m}(\mathrm{E}+\Delta \mathrm{E})}}=\frac{\lambda}{2}\)

\(\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{E}+\Delta \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{E}}=4 \Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{E}=3 \mathrm{E}\)
