MCQ
The de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ associated with an electron having kinetic energy $E$ is given by the expression
  • $\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 h}{m E}$
  • C
    $2\ m h E$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \sqrt{2 m E}}{h}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}$
$\frac{1}{2} m v^2=E \Rightarrow m v=\sqrt{2 m E} ; $
$\therefore \lambda=\frac{h}{m v}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}$
