Dual Nature Of Light Question 127

Question: When the kinetic energy of an electron is increased, the wavelength of the associated wave will

Options:

A) Increase

B) Decrease

C) Wavelength does not depend on the kinetic energy

D) None of the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}};\ \ \therefore \ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}} $ (h and m = constant)
