Question:

De-Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated by a voltage of 50 V is close to (\(|e|=1.6\times10^{-19}\ \mathrm{C}\), \(m_e=9.1\times10^{-31}\ \mathrm{kg}\), \(h=6.6\times10^{-34}\ \mathrm{J\,s}\))

Show Hint

Use \(\lambda = h/\sqrt{2meV}\).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

\(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}\).
\(2meV=2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times50=1.456\times10^{-47}\), so \(\sqrt{2meV}=3.816\times10^{-24}\).
\(\lambda=\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{3.816\times10^{-24}}=1.73\times10^{-10}\ \mathrm{m}=1.7\ \mathrm{\AA}\).
Answer: (3) 1.7 \(\mathrm{\AA}\)
