An electron (mass m) with an initial velocity v=v0i^v0>0 is moving in an electric field E=-E0i^E0>0 where E0 is constant. If at t=0, de-Broglie wavelength is λ0=hmv0, then its de-Broglie wavelength after time t is given by
  1. λ0
  2. λ01+eE0tmv0
  3. λ0t
  4. λ01+eE0tmv0

Solution

Initial de-Broglie wavelength of electron,

λ0=hmv0 ....(i)

Force on electron in electric field,

F=-eE=-e-E0i^=eE0i^

Acceleration of electron, a=Fm=eE0i^m
Velocity of electron after time t,

v=v0i^+eE0i^mt=v0+eE0mti^=v01+eE0mv0ti^

de-Broglie wavelength associated with electron at time t is

λ=hmv

λ=hmv01+eE0mv0t=λ01+eE0mv0t
