    An electron of mass m and charge e initially at rest gets accelerated by a constant electric field E. The rate of change of de-Broglie wavelength of this electron at time t (Ignoring relativistic effects) is               

    A) \[\frac{-h}{eE{{t}^{2}}}\]       

    B)   \[\frac{-mh}{eE{{t}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{-h}{eEt}\]                       

    D) \[\frac{-eEt}{h}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : Here, \[u=0,a=\frac{eE}{m}\] \[\therefore \]\[v=u+at=0+\frac{eE}{m}t\]de-Broglie wavelength, \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{h}{m(eEt/m)}=\frac{h}{eEt}\] Rate of change of de-Broglie wavelength \[\frac{d\lambda }{dt}=\frac{h}{eE}\left( -\frac{1}{{{t}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{-h}{eE{{t}^{2}}}\]
