An electron of mass ' m ' and charge ' e ' initially at rest gets accelerated by a constant electric field ' \(E\) '. The rate of change of de-Broglie wavelength of the electron at time ' \(t\) ' is (Ignore relativistic effect) ( \(\mathrm{h}=\) Planck's constant)

  1. A \(-\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{eEt}^2}\)
  2. B \(-\frac{\mathrm{eEt}}{\mathrm{h}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{-\mathrm{mh}}{\mathrm{eEt}^2}\)
  4. D \(-\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{eE}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{eEt}^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v = at = \frac{eE}{m}t\) \(\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{h}{m(\frac{eE}{m}t)} = \frac{h}{eEt}\)
