    Find the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron with a kinetic energy of 120 eV.

    A)  95pm                                   

    B)  102pm

    C)  112pm                                

    D)  124pm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The de-Broglie wavelength of a electron of \[{{m}_{e}}\]and kinetic energy K is given by                 \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\,{{m}_{e}}\,K}}\] Here, \[{{m}_{e}}=9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}kg\] and                 \[K=120\,eV=120\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}\times 120\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}}\]                 \[=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}{\sqrt{3494.4\times {{10}^{-50}}}}\]                 \[\lambda =\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}{59.1\times {{10}^{-25}}}\]                 \[\lambda =112.0\times {{10}^{-12}}m\]                 \[\lambda =112\,pm\]
