A particle of charge \(q\), mass \(m\) and energy \(E\) has de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\). For a particle of charge \(2 q\), mass \(2 m\) and energy \(2 E\), the de-Broglie wavelength is

  1. A \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\)
  2. B \(2 \lambda\)
  3. C \(8 \lambda\)
  4. D \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) of charged particle of charge \(q\) mass \(m\) and energy \(E\) is given by \[ \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}} \] For another particle mass \(m^{\prime}=2 \mathrm{~m}\) charge, \(q^{\prime}=2 q\) and energy, \(B^{\prime}=2 B\) de-Broglie…
