Question
Plot a graph showing variation of de$-$Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ versus $\frac{1}{\sqrt{V}} ,$ where $V$ is accelerating potential for two particles $A$ and $B$ carrying same charge but of masses $m_1, m_2 (m_1 > m_2).$ Which one of the two represents a particle of smaller mass and why?

Answer



As $\lambda = \frac{\hslash}{\sqrt{2\text{mqV}}}$
As the charge of two particles is same, therefore
$\frac{\lambda}{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{V}}})} \alpha\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{m}}}$  i.e.Slope $\alpha\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{m}}}$
Hence, particle with lower mass ($\text{m}_{2}$) will have greater slope.

Spring fitted doors close by themselves when released. You want to keep the door open for a long time, say for an hour. If you put a half kg stone in front of the open door, it does not help. The stone slides with the door and the door gets closed. However, if you sandwitch a 20g piece of wood in the small gap between the door and the floor, the door stays open. Explain why a much lighter piece of wood is able to keep the door open while the heavy stone fails.
