Question
What should be the increase in kinetic energy of electron in order to decrease its de Broglie wavelength from 100 nm to 50 nm?
Options
A.0.451 keV
B.4.51 × 10−4 eV
C.4.51 × 10−3 eV
D.0.0451 eV
Solution
$\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} \Rightarrow \Delta E = \frac{h^{2}}{2m}\left( \frac{1}{\lambda_{2}^{2}} - \frac{1}{\lambda_{1}^{2}} \right)$
$= \frac{\left( 6.626 \times 10^{- 34} \right)^{2}}{2 \times 9 \times 10^{- 31}}\left( \frac{1}{\left( 50 \times 10^{- 9} \right)^{2}} - \frac{1}{\left( 100 \times 10^{- 9} \right)^{2}} \right) $$$= 7.24 \times 10^{- 23}\text{ J = 4.5} \times \text{1}\text{0}^{- 4}\text{ eV}$$
