, becomes comparable with mc2,
where m is the mass of the particle. At what de Broglie wavelength will
relativistic corrections become important for an electron?
(a) 
(b) 
(c)
(d) 
Answer:
(c,d)Velocity of
electron, 
Let 
and 
(a)
When 
(b)When
(c)When
(d)
When 
As 
and 
are greater than velocity of
light (= 3 x 108 m/s), hence relativistic correction is needed for 
nm and 
nm. Thus, options (c) and
(d) are required wavelengths.
