An electron accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V has a de Broglie wavelength of about:

Answer: 1.23 Å.

  • A 0.123 Å
  • B 1.23 Å
  • C 12.3 Å
  • D 123 Å

Correct answer: B. 1.23 Å

Explanation: λ = 12.27/√V Å = 12.27/√100 = 1.23 Å.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
