Answer:
Correct Answer: 6. (c)
Solution:
- Plan As you can see in options, energy term is mentioned hence, we have to find out relation between
and energy. For this, we shall use de-Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy term in .
de-Broglie wavelength for an electron
Kinetic energy of an electron
As we know that,
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
