    The energy that should be added to an electron to reduce its de-Broglie wavelength from 1 nm to 0.5 nm is

    A)  four times the initial energy               

    B)  equal to the initial energy

    C)  twice the initial energy                    

    D)  thrice the initial energy

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     de-Broglie wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1\times {{10}^{-9}}}{0.5\times {{10}^{-9}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2=\sqrt{\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{E}_{2}}=4{{E}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \] Energy to be added \[={{E}_{2}}-{{E}_{1}}\] \[=4{{E}_{1}}-{{E}_{1}}=3{{E}_{1}}\]
