Q. No. Question BT Level CO
Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron
accelerated through 150 V. Compare with an X-ray of
Q1. 0.10 nm: which has a shorter wavelength? (Use h = BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s, me = 9.11×10⁻³¹ kg, e = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C.)
A neutron (mn = 1.675×10⁻²⁷ kg) moves at 2500 m/s. Find its
Q2. wavelength. Would it diffract appreciably from a crystal with a BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
lattice spacing of 0.25 nm?
What accelerating potential is needed to give an electron a
Q3. de Broglie wavelength of 0.050 nm? BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
An electron has a speed of 0.45c. Compute its de Broglie
Q4. wavelength using relativistic momentum. BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
An electron is accelerated by a potential difference in
such a way that its de-Broglie wavelength is thrice the
Q5. Compton wavelength. Determine the value of potential BT3 4.5PH02O001.1
difference. Given:mass of the electron: 9.1×10 -31 kg, h =
6.6×10-34 Js, charge on electron = 1.6×10-19C
