Q26.Electron beam used in an electron microscope, when accelerated by a voltage of 20 kV has a de-Broglie wavelength of λ0 . If the voltage is increased to 40 kV then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron beam would be: (1) 3λ0 (2) 9λ0 (3) λ0 (4) λ0 2 √2

What This Question Tests

This question requires relating the de Broglie wavelength of an electron to the accelerating voltage and calculating the new wavelength upon voltage change.

Concepts Tested

De Broglie wavelengthKinetic energy of electronAccelerating voltage

Formulas Used

λ = h/p

p = √(2mE)

E = eV

λ = h/√(2meV)
