An electron is moving with initial velocity in a magnetic field . Its de-Broglie wavelength will
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
The magnetic force acting on a moving charge is given by .
Since the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, the work done by the magnetic field on the electron is zero.
According to the work-energy theorem, the kinetic energy of the electron remains constant, which implies its speed remains constant.
The de-Broglie wavelength is given by .
Since the speed is constant, the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron remains constant.
Answer: remains constant.
