If the potential difference used to accelerate electrons is doubled,by what factor does the de-Broglie wavelength associated with electrons change?

  • A
    Wavelength is increased to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times.
  • B
    Wavelength is increased to $\frac{1}{2}$ times.
  • C
    Wavelength is decreased to $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times.
  • D
    Wavelength is decreased to $\frac{1}{2}$ times.

Two electrons are moving with non-relativistic speeds perpendicular to each other. If corresponding de Broglie wavelengths are $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$,their de Broglie wavelength in the frame of reference attached to their centre of mass is

The wavelength $\lambda$ of a photon and the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron have the same value. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the electron to the energy of a photon is ($m=$ mass of electron,$c=$ velocity of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).

Electrons are accelerated through a potential difference $V$ and protons are accelerated through a potential difference $4V$. The de-Broglie wavelengths are $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ for electrons and protons respectively. The ratio of $\frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}$ is given by: (given $m_e$ is the mass of the electron and $m_p$ is the mass of the proton).
