Question
An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 100 volts. What is the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it? To which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this value of wavelength correspond?
✓
Answer
$\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{meV}}}\text{ or } \lambda = \frac{12.27}{\sqrt{\text{V}}}\mathring{\text{A}}$
$\lambda =\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{100}}\mathring{\text{A}} = \frac{12.27}{10}\mathring{\text{A}}=1.227\mathring{\text{A}}$
This wavelength corresponds to the X rays.

The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is completely filled in two ways. In the first case, it is filled with a slab of dielectric constant K. In the second case, it is filled with two slabs of equal thickness and dielectric constants K1 and K2 respectively as shown in the figure. The capacitance of the capacitor is same in the two cases. Obtain the relationship between K, K1 and K2.
