UNIT VIII: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter - Online Test

Q1. The wavelength λe of an electron and λp of a photon of same energy E are related by
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

de Broglie wavelength for an electron

λe= h / √(2mE) ;

λe 1/√E ;

λe2 1/E  ------------- (1)

For photon

λp= hc / E ;

λp 1/E  ------------- (2)

From equation (1) and (2), we have So,

 λp λe2


Q2. In an electron microscope, the electrons are accelerated by a voltage of 14 kV. If the voltage is changed to 224 kV, then the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons would
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
