The equationλ=1.227x nmcan be used to find the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron. In this equationxstands for :
Where,
m=mass of electron
P=momentum of electron
K=Kinetic energy of electron
V=Accelerating potential in volts for electron

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The de-Broglie's wavelength is given by λ=hmv, where, h is Planck's constant and v is velocity.

Using relation between momentum and kinetic energy, we have λ=h2 mKE

Here, kinetic energy of electron is stated as KE=qV.

Then, we have λ=h2mqV

Putting the values of m=9.1×10-31 kg and q=1.62×10-19 C of electron

We get, λ=1.22V nm.

So, x stand for V.
