    Electrons used in an electron microscope are accelerated by a voltage of 25 kV. If the voltage is increased to 100 kV then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons would

    A)  decrease by 2 times

    B)  decrease by 4 times

    C)  increase by 4 times

    D)  increase by 2 times

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have \[\lambda =\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{V}}\]                 So,                          \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}}\]                                                 \[{{\lambda }_{2}}={{\lambda }_{1}}\sqrt{\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}}}\]                                                  \[{{\lambda }_{2}}={{\lambda }_{1}}\sqrt{\frac{25}{100}}\]                                                 \[{{\lambda }_{2}}={{\lambda }_{1}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{2}\]
