Question
Plot a graph showing variation of de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ associated with a charged particle of mass m, versus $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{V}}},$ where V is the potential difference through which the particle is accelerated. How does this graph give us the information regarding the magnitude of the charge of the particle?

Answer


The slope of the graph is $\frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{mq}}}.$ Considering we know slope and mass of the charged particle, we can easily calculate the charge.

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} m$. The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^8 m$.
