The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in an electric field after a time \( t \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Information - Initial velocity of the electron: \[ \mathbf{v} = v_0 \hat{i} \] - Electric field: \[ \mathbf{E} = -E_0 \hat{i} \] - Mass of the electron: \[ m \] - Charge of the electron: \[ q = -e \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Force Acting on the Electron The force \( \mathbf{F} \) acting on the electron due to the electric field is given by: \[ \mathbf{F} = q \mathbf{E} \] Substituting the values: \[ \mathbf{F} = (-e)(-E_0 \hat{i}) = eE_0 \hat{i} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Acceleration of the Electron Using Newton's second law, \( \mathbf{F} = m \mathbf{a} \), we can find the acceleration \( \mathbf{a} \): \[ \mathbf{a} = \frac{\mathbf{F}}{m} = \frac{eE_0}{m} \hat{i} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Final Velocity After Time \( t \) Using the first equation of motion: \[ \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{a} t \] where \( \mathbf{u} = v_0 \hat{i} \): \[ \mathbf{v} = v_0 \hat{i} + \left(\frac{eE_0}{m} \hat{i}\right) t \] This simplifies to: \[ \mathbf{v} = \left(v_0 + \frac{eE_0}{m} t\right) \hat{i} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Momentum of the Electron The momentum \( p \) of the electron is given by: \[ p = m \mathbf{v} \] Substituting the expression for \( \mathbf{v} \): \[ p = m \left(v_0 + \frac{eE_0}{m} t\right) \hat{i} = m v_0 \hat{i} + eE_0 t \hat{i} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the de-Broglie Wavelength The de-Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] Substituting the expression for \( p \): \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{m v_0 + eE_0 t} \] ### Step 7: Express the Wavelength in Terms of Initial Wavelength If we denote the initial de-Broglie wavelength \( \lambda_0 \) as: \[ \lambda_0 = \frac{h}{m v_0} \] Then we can express \( \lambda \) as: \[ \lambda = \frac{\lambda_0}{1 + \frac{eE_0}{m v_0} t} \] ### Final Answer The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron at time \( t \) is: \[ \lambda = \frac{\lambda_0}{1 + \frac{eE_0}{m v_0} t} \] ---

To solve the problem of finding the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in an electric field after a time \( t \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Given Information - Initial velocity of the electron: \[ \mathbf{v} = v_0 \hat{i} \] - Electric field: ...
