Modern Physics Ques 283

  1. A beam of electron is used in an YDSE experiment. The slit width is $d$. When the velocity of electron is increased, then

$(2005,2 M)$

(a) no interference is observed

(b) fringe width increases

(c) fringe width decreases

(d) fringe width remains same

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 283.(c)

Solution:

Formula:

Wave Velocity:

  1. As velocity ( or momentum) of electron is increased, the wavelength $(\lambda=\frac{h}{p})$ will decrease. Hence, fringe width will decrease $(\omega \propto \lambda)$.
