Show that the de-Broglie wavelength A of an electron of energy E is given by the relation : lambda = h/sqrt(2mE).

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let E be energy and p MOMENTUM of electron,
So `E = 1/2mv^(2) = (m^(2)v^(2))/(2m) =p^(2)/(2m)`
or `p=sqrt(2mE)`……(i)
Since de-Broglie wavelength associated by an electron is GIVEN by:
`lambda = h/p`
USING Eq. (i), we get
`lambda = h/sqrt(2mE)`...........(ii)
