NEET 2020 · PhysicsElectron λPrevious Year Question

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of V volt. If the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is 1.227 × 10⁻² nm, the potential difference is:

Answer: (B) 10⁴ V. Answer: (b) 10⁴ V Solution: λ = 12.27/√V Å = (12.27/√V) × 10⁻¹⁰ m.

  1. A.10³ V
  2. B.10⁴ V
  3. C.10 V
  4. D.10² V

Correct Answer

(B) 10⁴ V

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (b) 10⁴ V Solution: λ = 12.27/√V Å = (12.27/√V) × 10⁻¹⁰ m. Given λ = 1.227 × 10⁻² nm = 0.1227 × 10⁻¹⁰ m = 12.27/√V × 10⁻¹² m... ⇒ √V = 100 ⇒ V = 10⁴ V.

PhysThe de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron, accelerated by a potential difference of 81 V, is given by:PhysAn electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 10000 V. Its de Broglie wavelength is, (nearly): (mₑ = 9 × 10⁻³¹ kg)PhysAn electron of mass m with an initial velocity v = v₀ î (v₀ > 0) enters an electric field E = −E₀ î (E₀ = constant > 0) at t = 0. If λ₀ is its de Broglie wavelength initially, then its de Broglie wavelength at time t is:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
