    When the kinetic energy of an electron is increased, the wavelength of the associated wave will

    A)  decrease

    B)  increase

    C)  remains unchanged

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     We know that, \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\] \[\therefore \]\[\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\] (as\[h\] and \[m\]will be constants) So, when the kinetic energy of electron increases, the wavelength associated with it decreases,
