Give Expression for Acceleration and Wave Length.
Answers
Answer:
Therefore, λ=h√2mqV is the expression for the de-Broglie wavelength associated with a charged particle having charge and mass when it is accelerated by a potential V .
Answer:
Explanation:
de Broglie wavelength depends on the momentum--and therefore the speed--of the particle. So acceleration doesn't necessarily change the de Broglie wavelength (a particle can move in a circle at constant speed, but since the direction is changing it's accelerating). However, in any case where the acceleration is changing the speed (magnitude of the velocity)--such as when a charged particle loses energy by radiating--the de Broglie wavelength will change. There's a related quantity, the wave vector k (magnitude 2 pi divided by wavelength) which is proportional to the momentum. This does change whenever the velocity changes (so even for uniform circular motion).
