MCQ
The de-Broglie wavelength of a particle having kinetic energy $E$ is $\lambda$. How much extra energy must be given to this particle so that the de-Broglie wavelength reduces to $75 \,\%$ of the initial value ?
  • A
    $\frac{1}{9} {E}$
  • $\frac{7}{9} {E}$
  • C
    ${E}$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{9} {E}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{7}{9} {E}$
b
$\lambda=\frac{{h}}{{mv}}=\frac{{h}}{\sqrt{2 {mE}}}, {mv}=\sqrt{2 {mE}}$

$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{{E}}}$ $\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{4}, \lambda_{2}=0.75 \lambda_{1}$

$\frac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}}=\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}$

${E}_{2}=\frac{16}{9} {E}_{1}=\frac{16}{9} {E} \quad\left({E}_{1}={E}\right)$

Extra energy given $=\frac{16}{9} {E}-{E}=\frac{7}{9} {E}$
