An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of volt. If the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is nm, the potential difference is:
V
V
V
V
To solve this problem, we will use the de Broglie wavelength formula and the kinetic energy of an electron.The de Broglie wavelength is given by:where is Planck's constant and is the momentum of the electron.The momentum of an electron accelerated through a potential difference is:where is the mass of the electron and is the charge of the electron.Substituting in the de Broglie wavelength formula:Rearranging to solve for Given: nm mPlanck's constant J sMass of electron kgCharge of electron CSubstitute these values into the equation for Calculate the numerator:Calculate the denominator:Now, calculate VTherefore, the potential difference is approximately V, which corresponds to Option 3.
