$A$ charged particle is accelerated from rest through a certain potential difference. The de-Broglie wavelength is $\lambda_1$ when it is accelerated through $V_1$ and is $\lambda_2$ when accelerated through $V_2$. The ratio $\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is

  • A
    $V_1^{3/2} : V_2^{3/2}$
  • B
    $V_2^{1/2} : V_1^{1/2}$
  • C
    $V_1^{1/2} : V_2^{1/2}$
  • D
    $V_1^2 : V_2^2$

If we consider an electron and a photon of the same de-Broglie wavelength,then they will have the same:

The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

If the momentum of a proton is changed by $p_0$,the corresponding change in the de Broglie wavelength is $0.25 \%$. The initial momentum of the proton is:

What is the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of a proton and a neutron moving with the same velocity?

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis, the ratio of the wavelength of a photon and that of an electron having the same energy $E$ is $(m = \text{mass of electron}, c = \text{velocity of light})$
