Question : 7
Total: 26
Plot a graph showing variation of de-Broglie wavelength λ versus 1V , where V is accelerating potential for two particles A and B carrying same charge but of masses m1,m2(m1>m2) . Which one of the two represents a particle of smaller mass and why ?
Solution:  
Plotting of graph
Identification of line representing lower mass
Reason
As λ=
h
2meV

As the charge of two particles is same, therefore
λ
(
1
V
)
α
1
m
i.e. slope α
1
m

Hence, particle with lower mass (m2) will have greater slope.
