The correct Answer is:
To find the correct de Broglie wavelength of an electron moving in an electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Parameters:** - Mass of the electron: \( m \) - Initial velocity of the electron: \( \vec{v_0} = v_0 \hat{i} \) - Electric field: \( \vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i} \) - Charge of the electron: \( e \) (approximately \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C) 2. **Calculate the Force on the Electron:** - The force \( \vec{F} \) acting on the electron due to the electric field is given by: \[ \vec{F} = e \vec{E} = e E_0 \hat{i} \] 3. **Determine the Acceleration of the Electron:** - Using Newton's second law, \( \vec{F} = m \vec{a} \): \[ m \vec{a} = e E_0 \hat{i} \implies \vec{a} = \frac{e E_0}{m} \hat{i} \] 4. **Use the Kinematic Equation to Find the Velocity at Time \( t \):** - The final velocity \( \vec{v} \) after time \( t \) can be calculated using the equation: \[ \vec{v} = \vec{u} + \vec{a} t \] - Here, \( \vec{u} = v_0 \hat{i} \) and \( \vec{a} = \frac{e E_0}{m} \hat{i} \): \[ \vec{v} = v_0 \hat{i} + \left(\frac{e E_0}{m}\right) t \hat{i} = \left(v_0 + \frac{e E_0}{m} t\right) \hat{i} \] 5. **Calculate the De Broglie Wavelength:** - The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] - Where \( p \) is the momentum, \( p = mv \): \[ p = m \left(v_0 + \frac{e E_0}{m} t\right) = mv_0 + e E_0 t \] - Therefore, the de Broglie wavelength becomes: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv_0 + e E_0 t} \] 6. **Express the Wavelength in Terms of Initial Wavelength \( \lambda_0 \):** - The initial de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda_0 \) is: \[ \lambda_0 = \frac{h}{mv_0} \] - Thus, we can express \( \lambda \) as: \[ \lambda = \lambda_0 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{e E_0 t}{mv_0}} \] 7. **Final Expression for the Wavelength:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \lambda = \lambda_0 \left(1 + \frac{e E_0 t}{mv_0}\right) \] ### Conclusion: The correct de Broglie wavelength at a given time \( t \) is: \[ \lambda = \lambda_0 \left(1 + \frac{e E_0 t}{mv_0}\right) \]

To find the correct de Broglie wavelength of an electron moving in an electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Parameters:** - Mass of the electron: \( m \) - Initial velocity of the electron: \( \vec{v_0} = v_0 \hat{i} \) - Electric field: \( \vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i} \) ...
