Q18.An electron of mass m and magnitude of charge e at rest, gets accelerated by a constant electric field E . The rate of change of de-Broglie wavelength of this electron at a time t is (ignore relativistic effects) (1) dλ dt = − eEth (2) dλdt = −2heEt (3) dλ dt = −2heEt2 (4) dλdt = − eEt2h

What This Question Tests
