Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{-\mathrm{h}}{|\mathrm{e}| \mathrm{Et}^{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{eE}}{\mathrm{m}}\)

\(\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{eE}}{\mathrm{m}}\right) \mathrm{t}\)

\(\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{mv}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{-(\mathrm{hm}) \cdot \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dt}}}{(\mathrm{mv})^{2}}\)\(=-\frac{\mathrm{ah}}{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}=-\frac{\mathrm{h}}{| \mathrm{et}^{2}}\)
