JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves Question Bank Mock Test - Electromagnetic Waves and Dual Nature

  • question_answer
    The potential energy of a particle of mass m is given by \[U(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    {{E}_{0}};  \\    0;  \\ \end{matrix}\begin{matrix}    0\le x\le 1  \\    x>1  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[{{\lambda }_{1}}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}\] are the de Broglie wavelengths of the particle, when \[0\le x\le 1\]and \[x>1\] respectively. If the total energy of particle is 2\[{{E}_{0}}\], the ratio \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}\] will be

    A) 2                     

    B) 1         

    C) \[\sqrt{2}\]        

    D) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[K.E.=2{{E}_{0}}-{{E}_{0}}=(for0\le x\le 1)\] \[\Rightarrow {{\lambda }_{1}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m{{E}_{0}}}}\] \[K.E.=2{{E}_{0}}(for\,x>1)\] \[\Rightarrow {{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{4m{{E}_{0}}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\sqrt{2.}\]
