Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. ​If the momentum of electron is changed by P, then the de Broglie wavelength associated with it changes by 0.5%. The initial momentum of electron will be :
    1. ​200 P
    2. 400 P
    3. P
      200
    4. 100 P
Correct Option: A

The de-Broglie’s wavelength associated with the moving electron

λ
h
P

Now, according to problem
= -
dP
λP

0.5
=
dP
100P'

P′ = 200 P
