Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. The wavelength associated with an electron, accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V, is of the order of
    1. 1000 Å
    2. ​100 Å
    3. 10.5 Å
    4. 1.2 Å
Correct Option: D

Potential difference = 100 V ​
K.E. acquired by electron =  e (100)

1
mv2 = e(100)
2

⇒ v =
2e(100)
m

According to de Broglie's concept
λ =
h
mv

⇒ λ =
2e(100)
m
2e(100)
m

=
h
= 1.2 × 10-10 = 1.2Å
2me(100)
