An electron is moving with an initial velocity \( \vec{V}=V_{0} \hat{i} \) and is in a uniform magnetic field \( \vec{B}=B_{0} \hat{j} \). Then its de Broglie wavelength

  1. A decreases with time
  2. B remains constant
  3. C increase and decreases periodically
  4. D increases with time
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) remains constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

de-Broglie wavelength \( \lambda=\frac{h}{m v} \)
Electron is entering perpendicular to magnetic field. It moves in a circular path. But its speed remains same. Therefore de Broglie wavelength also remains constant.
