If the kinetic energy of a free electron doubles, its de-Broglie wavelength changes by the factor

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

We know

λ=hmv

and         K=12mv2=mv22m

mv= 2mK   

Thus,      λ  =h2mK      

⇒            λ∝1K                                            

 ∴           λ2λ1=K1K2=K12K1            ∵K2=2K1 

⇒           λ2λ1=12 

 ∴            λ2=λ12
