Electron beam when accelerated by a voltage of 10 kV , has a de-Broglie wavelength ' \(\lambda\) '. If the voltage is increased to 20 kV then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron beam would be

  1. A \(4 \lambda\)
  2. B \(2 \lambda\)
  3. C \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\lambda}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{V}}\) \(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}\)
