The kinetic energy of an electron, α -particle and a proton are given as 4   K , 2   K and K respectively. The de-Broglie wavelength associated with electron ( λ e ) , α -particle ( ( λ α ) and the proton ( λ p ) are as follows:

(A) λ α < λ p < λ e

(B) λ α > λ p > λ e

(C) λ α = λ p < λ e

(D) λ α = λ p > λ e

Correct answer is option A

The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is given by the equation:

λ = h p = h 2 m K ,

where:

  • h is Planck's constant,
  • p is the momentum of the particle,
  • m is the mass of the particle, and
  • K is the kinetic energy of the particle.

This equation shows that the de Broglie wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to the square root of its mass and its kinetic energy. This means that the particle with the smallest mass and kinetic energy will have the largest de Broglie wavelength.

Given that the kinetic energies of the electron, alpha particle, and proton are 4 K , 2 K , and K , respectively, and knowing that the mass of the electron is less than the mass of the proton and the mass of the proton is less than the mass of the alpha particle, we can infer that the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is greater than the de Broglie wavelength of the proton, which in turn is greater than the de Broglie wavelength of the alpha particle.

Therefore, the correct answer is option λ α < λ p < λ e .

A proton moving with one tenth of velocity of light has a certain de Broglie wavelength of λ An alpha particle having certain kinetic energy has the same de-Brogle wavelength λ The ratio of kinetic energy of proton and that of alpha particle is:

(A) 1 : 4

(B) 2 : 1

(C) 4 : 1

(D) 1 : 2

Correct answer is C

For same λ 1 momentum should be same,

( P ) P = ( P ) α

2 k P m P = 2 k α m α

k P m P = k α m α

k P k α = ( m α m P ) = 4 1 = 4 : 1

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A : The beam of electrons show wave nature and exhibit interference and diffraction. Reason R : Davisson Germer Experimentally verified the wave nature of electrons. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

(A) A is not correct but R is correct.

(B) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct Explanation of A

(C) Both A and R are correct but R is Not the correct Explanation of A

(D) A is correct but R is not correct

Correct answer is B

The assertion A and the reason R are both correct statements, and the reason R is the correct Explanation of the assertion A. Explanation The assertion A states that the beam of electrons exhibit wave nature and show interference and diffraction. This statement is correct because electrons exhibit both particle-like and wave-like behavior. When electrons are accelerated to high speeds, they have a wavelength associated with them, and this wavelength can interfere and diffract just like any other wave. The reason R states that the wave nature of electrons was experimentally verified by Davisson Germer. This statement is also correct because Davisson and Germer performed an experiment in 1927 where they observed diffraction patterns in a beam of electrons that were scattered off a nickel crystal. This observation provided strong evidence for the wave nature of electrons. Therefore, both assertion A and reason R are correct statements, and reason R is the correct Explanation:- of assertion A.

An electron accelerated through a potential difference V 1 has a de-Broglie wavelength of λ . When the potential is changed to V 2 , its de-Broglie wavelength increases by 50 % . The value of ( V 1 V 2 ) is equal to

(A) 3 2

(B) 4

(C) 3

(D) 9 4

Correct answer is option D

P = 2 e V m

λ = ( h P 1 ) ..... (i)

3 λ 2 = h P 2 ..... (ii)

Dividing (i) by (ii)

2 3 = ( P 2 P 1 ) = v 2 v 1

4 9 = ( v 2 v 1 )

v 1 v 2 = ( 9 4 )

A small object at rest, absorbs a light pulse of power 20   mW and duration 300   ns . Assuming speed of light as 3 × 10 8   m / s , the momentum of the object becomes equal to :

(A) 1 × 10 17   kg   m / s

(B) 0.5 × 10 17   kg   m / s

(C) 3 × 10 17   kg   m / s

(D) 2 × 10 17   kg   m / s

Correct answer is option D

Assuming the small object as photon.

Momentum ( p ) = E C
