Question

An electron of mass mm with an initial velocity V=V0i^\vec{V} = V_0 \hat{i} (V_0 > 0) enters an electric field E=E0i^\vec{E} = -E_0 \hat{i} (E_0 = \text{constant} > 0) at t=0t = 0. If λ0\lambda_0 is de-Broglie wavelength initially, then its de-Broglie wavelength at time tt is

A

λ0t\lambda_0 t

B

λ0(1+eE0mV0t)\lambda_0 (1 + \frac{eE_0}{mV_0} t)

C

λ01+eE0mV0t\frac{\lambda_0}{1 + \frac{eE_0}{mV_0} t}

D

λ0\lambda_0

Step-by-Step Solution

Initial de-Broglie wavelength λ0=hmV0\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{mV_0}. The acceleration of the electron is a=eE0ma = \frac{eE_0}{m}. Velocity after time tt is V=V0+eE0mtV = V_0 + \frac{eE_0}{m}t. The new wavelength λ=hmV=hm(V0+eE0mt)=hmV0(1+eE0mV0t)=λ01+eE0mV0t\lambda = \frac{h}{mV} = \frac{h}{m(V_0 + \frac{eE_0}{m}t)} = \frac{h}{mV_0(1 + \frac{eE_0}{mV_0}t)} = \frac{\lambda_0}{1 + \frac{eE_0}{mV_0}t}.
