Question
Write the relationship of de Broglie wavelength λ associated with a particle of mass m in terms of its kinetic energy K.
Advertisements
Solution
Kinetic energy of the particle, K = `1/2 "mv"^2 = "P"^2/(2"m")`
p = `sqrt(2"mK")`
de-Broglie wavelength of the particle λ = `"h"/"p" = "h"/sqrt(2"mK")`
