An electron of mass m is moving in an electric field E=-2E0 i (E0 = constant > 0), with an initial velocity V=v0 i (v0 = constant > 0). If 0= h4mv0, its de Broglie wavelength at time t is . (e = charge of electron)
- 4 0 [1- E0e2m tv0 ]
- 4 0 [1+ E0e2m tv0 ]
- 4 0 [1+ 2E0em tv0 ]
- 4 0 [1- 2E0em tv0 ]
Answer
(3) 4 0 [1+ 2E0em tv0 ]
Solution
Force on the electron: F=-e E=-e(-2E0 i)=2eE0 i (along the initial velocity)
⇒ a= 2eE0m ⇒ v=v0+ 2eE0mt=v0 [1+ 2E0em tv0 ]
= hmv= hmv0 [1+ 2E0em tv0 ]
∵ 0= h4mv0 ⇒ hmv0=4 0
∴ = 4 0 [1+ 2E0em tv0 ]
