Find the de Broglie wavelength of an electron with kinetic energy `9.6xx10^(-19) J`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Kinetic energy `=(9.4xx10^(-19))/(1.6xx10^(-19))eV=5.875eV`
de Broglie wavelength of electron (charged particle), `lambda= sqrt((150)/(5.875))=5.05Å`
Kinetic enegy of 5.875 eV means that the electron is accelerated by 5.875V.
