    When the kinetic energy of an electron is increased, the wavelength of the associated wave will

    A)  decrease          

    B)  increase

    C)  remains unchanged      

    D)   None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that,\[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\](as \[h\] and \[m\] will be constants) So, when the kinetic energy of electron increases, the wavelength associated with it decreases.
