If the kinetic energy of the particle is increased to 16 times its previous value, the percentage change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is:NEET 2014

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

KEfinal=16KEinitial

⇒12mvf2=16×12mvi2(mass remains same because the particle remains same)

⇒vf=4vi
We know that, De-broglie wavelength (λ)=hmv

∴λf=hmvf=h4mvi

  So De-Broglie wave will decreased to 75%
