    If K be the kinetic energy and m the mass of a moving  particle,   then  the  de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is

    A)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{mK}}\]

    B)  \[\lambda =\frac{2h}{\sqrt{mK}}\]

    C)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{2\sqrt{mK}}\]

    D)  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\,mK}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The energy of a charged particle accelerated through potential difference V is \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=qV\] Hence, de-Broglie wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\]
