Electron beam used in an electron microscope, when accelerated by a voltage of \(20\,kV\). has a de-Broglie wavelength of \(\lambda_0\). If the voltage is increased to \(40\,kV\). then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron beam would be:
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When electron is accelerated through potential difference \(V\), then
\(\text { K.E. }= eV\)
\(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{ h }{\sqrt{2 m ( KE )}}=\frac{ h }{\sqrt{2 meV }}\)
\(\therefore \quad \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{ V }}\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{\lambda}{\lambda_0}=\sqrt{\frac{20}{40}}\)
\(\therefore \quad \lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{2}}\)
