The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with kinetic energy of 144 eV is nearly

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with kinetic energy of 144 eV is nearly
  1. 102×10-3 nm
  2. 102×10-4 nm
  3. 102×10-5 nm
  4. 102×10-2 nm

Solution

The formula of de-Broglie wavelength, λ=h2mK.E. and we know that, K.E.=eV. Recall the proper relation between wavelength and electric potential, in angstrom,  λ=12.27VÅ=12.27144×10-10=1.02×10-10 m

it means the wavelength, λ=102×10-3 nm
