The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron and its relationship with kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding de-Broglie Wavelength**: The de-Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m \cdot KE}} \] where: - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( m \) is the mass of the particle (electron in this case), - \( KE \) is the kinetic energy of the particle. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: Statement 1 claims that "the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron decreases as kinetic energy decreases." To analyze this, we can rearrange the formula: - As \( KE \) decreases, the term \( \sqrt{2m \cdot KE} \) in the denominator decreases. - Since \( \lambda \) is inversely proportional to \( \sqrt{2m \cdot KE} \), a decrease in \( KE \) leads to an increase in \( \lambda \). - Therefore, Statement 1 is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: Statement 2 states the formula for the de-Broglie wavelength: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m \cdot KE}} \] This statement is a correct representation of the relationship between the de-Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement 1 is incorrect and Statement 2 is correct, we conclude that the correct answer is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ### Final Answer: - **Statement 1 is false.** - **Statement 2 is true.**
