    If the potential difference used to accelerate electrons is tripled, by what factor does de-Broglie wavelength of electrons beam change.

    A)  \[\frac{1}{3}\] times                     

    B)  3 times

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\] times           

    D)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] times

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    de-Brolie wavelength of electrons accelerated through a potential difference of V volts is \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}\]When accelerating voltage v is tripled, the de- Broglie wavelength becomes \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] times.
