An electron of mass 'm' with an initial velocity v=v0 i (v0>0) enters an electric field E=-Eo k. If the initial de Broglie wavelength is 0, the value after time t would be
- o 1- e2Eo2t2m2vo2
- 0
- o 1+ e2Eo2t2m2vo2
- o 1+ e2Eo2t2m2vo2
Answer
(3) o 1+ e2Eo2t2m2vo2
Solution
= hp; force on the electron =-eE=eE0 k, so only pz grows.

p= m2v02+e2E02t2=mv0 1+ e2E02t2m2v02
= 0 1+ e2E02t2m2v02
Answer: (3)
