Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron of kinetic energy 500 eV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The kinetic energy of an electron 500 eV means the electron is accelerated by the potential 500 V.
So, the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons,
`lamda = (12.27)/(sqrt(500)) = 0.55 Å`
