The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the potential \( V \) required to accelerate an electron beam such that its wavelength becomes equal to \( 1.0 \, \text{Å} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between wavelength, momentum, and potential energy The wavelength \( \lambda \) of an electron can be expressed using the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the electron. The momentum \( p \) can also be related to the kinetic energy gained by the electron when it is accelerated through a potential \( V \). ### Step 2: Relate kinetic energy to potential When an electron is accelerated through a potential \( V \), it gains kinetic energy given by: \[ KE = eV \] where \( e \) is the charge of the electron. The kinetic energy can also be expressed in terms of momentum: \[ KE = \frac{p^2}{2m_e} \] where \( m_e \) is the mass of the electron. ### Step 3: Set the two expressions for kinetic energy equal Equating the two expressions for kinetic energy, we have: \[ eV = \frac{p^2}{2m_e} \] ### Step 4: Substitute momentum in terms of wavelength From the de Broglie wavelength formula, we can express momentum \( p \) as: \[ p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \] Substituting this into the kinetic energy equation gives: \[ eV = \frac{1}{2m_e} \left(\frac{h}{\lambda}\right)^2 \] ### Step 5: Solve for potential \( V \) Rearranging the equation to solve for \( V \): \[ V = \frac{h^2}{2m_e e \lambda^2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute known values We are given: - \( \lambda = 1.0 \, \text{Å} = 1.0 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - The value of \( \frac{h^2}{m_e e} = 3 \times 10^{-18} \, \text{J}^2 \cdot \text{s}^2 \cdot \text{kg}^{-1} \cdot \text{C}^{-1} \) Substituting these values into the equation for \( V \): \[ V = \frac{3 \times 10^{-18}}{2 \times (1.0 \times 10^{-10})^2} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( V \) Calculating \( (1.0 \times 10^{-10})^2 \): \[ (1.0 \times 10^{-10})^2 = 1.0 \times 10^{-20} \] Now substituting this back into the equation for \( V \): \[ V = \frac{3 \times 10^{-18}}{2 \times 1.0 \times 10^{-20}} = \frac{3 \times 10^{-18}}{2 \times 10^{-20}} = \frac{3}{2} \times 10^{2} = 1.5 \times 10^{2} = 150 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The potential \( V \) that the electron beam should be accelerated through is: \[ \boxed{150 \, \text{V}} \]
