    If the kinetic energy of the particle is increased by 16 times, the percentage change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is

    A)  25%                                      

    B)  75%

    C)  60%                                      

    D)  50%

    E)  30%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    From de-Broglies formula \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}\] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{K}_{2}}}}{\sqrt{{{K}_{1}}}}\] Given,   \[{{K}_{2}}=16{{K}_{1}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\sqrt{16}=4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{4}\] % change\[=\frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}-{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}\times 100\] % change\[=\frac{3}{4}\times 100=75%\]
