What is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron accelerated through a potential difference of
\( 100 \) Volt?

  1. A \( 12.27 Å \)
  2. B \( 1.227 Å \)
  3. C \( 0.1227 \mathrm{~A} \)
  4. D \( 0.001227 \stackrel{0}{A} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 1.227 Å \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

de Broglie wavelength of electron accelerated through a potential difference of \( V \) volt is given as
\[
\lambda=\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}
\]
Here \( V=100 \) Volt
Therefore, \( \lambda=\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{100}}=\frac{12.27}{10}=1.227 \mathrm{AA} \)
