A pair of parallel metal plates are kept with a separation 'd'. One plate is at a potential \(+\mathrm{V}\) and the other is at ground potential. A narrow beam of electrons enters the space between the plates with a velocity \(\mathrm{v}_{0}\) and in a direction parallel to the plates. What will be the angle of the beam with the plates after it travels an axial distance L?

  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{eVL}}{\mathrm{mdv}_{0}}\right)\)
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{eVL}}{\mathrm{mdv}_{0}^{2}}\right)\)
  3. C \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{eVL}}{\mathrm{mdv}_{0}}\right)\)
  4. D \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{eVL}}{\mathrm{mdv}_{0}^{2}}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{eVL}}{\mathrm{mdv}_{0}^{2}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(t=\frac{L}{v_{0}}\) \(v_{y}=\frac{e}{m} \cdot \frac{v}{d} \times \frac{L}{v_{0}}=\frac{e v L}{m d v_{0}}\) \(\tan \theta=\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}=\frac{e v L}{m d v_{0} \cdot v_{0}}\) \(\Rightarrow \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{e v L}{m d v_{0}^{2}}\right)\)
