An electron accelerated through a potential differenceV1has a de-Broglie wavelength ofλ. When the potential is changed toV2, its de-Broglie wavelength increases by50%. The value ofV1V2is equal to :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Let initial wavelength be λ, then after 50% increase wavelength will become 1.5λ.

Now, KE=P22m=eV & P=hλ

Therefore, eV=hλ22m.

So we can write

eV1=hλ22m   ...Eq(1) and 

eV2=h1.5λ22m   ...Eq(2)

From both equations, we get

V1V2=1.52=94
