MCQ
The $log-log$ graph between the energy $E$ of an electron and its de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda $ will be
  • A

  • B


  • D

Answer

Correct option: C.

c
(c) $\lambda = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2mE} }} = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2m} }} \cdot \frac{1}{{\sqrt E }}$. 

Taking $log$ of both sides $\log \lambda = \log \frac{h}{{\sqrt 2 m}} + \log \frac{1}{{\sqrt E }}$

$⇒$ $\log \lambda = \log \frac{h}{{\sqrt 2 m}} - \frac{1}{2}\log E$

$ \Rightarrow \log \lambda = - \frac{1}{2}\log E + \log \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2m} }}$

This is the equation of straight line having slope $(-1/2)$ and positive intercept on log $\lambda$axis.
