The ratio of de Broglie wavelength of a deutron with kinetic energy $E$ to that of an alpha particle with kinetic energy $2 E$, is $n: 1$. The value of $n$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
(Assume mass of proton $=$ mass of neutron) $:$
Explanation:
The de Broglie wavelength is given by :
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}} $
Since kinetic energy $\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}}$, we can write momentum as $\mathrm{p}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mK}}$.
Therefore:
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mK}}} $
Let $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}$ be the mass of a proton or neutron.
Deuteron (d) consists of 1 proton and 1 neutron. The mass of deuteron is $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{d}} \approx 2 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}}$
Kinetic Energy $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{d}}=\mathrm{E}$
Alpha particle $(\alpha)$ consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The mass of alpha particle is $\mathrm{m}_\alpha \approx 4 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}}$
Kinetic Energy $\mathrm{K}_\alpha=2 \mathrm{E}$
The ratio of wavelengths is :
$ \frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}}{\lambda_\alpha}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{d}} \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{d}}}}}{\frac{\mathrm{~h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{~m}_\alpha \mathrm{K}_\alpha}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}_\alpha}{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{d}}}} \times \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{K}_\alpha}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{d}}}} $
Substituting the values:
$ \frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}}{\lambda_\alpha}=\sqrt{\frac{4 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}}}{2 \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{p}}}} \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{E}}}=2 $
So, the ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths is $2: 1 \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{n}}{1}=\frac{2}{1} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=2$
Therefore, the value of $n$ is 2 . Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Wavelength of the matter wave associated with the particle is $\alpha \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
(Take Planck's constant $=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} . \mathrm{s}$ )
Explanation:
When a particle of charge $q$ is accelerated through a potential difference $V$, the work done on the particle is converted into its kinetic energy (K):
$ \mathrm{K}=\mathrm{qV} $
Given:
Charge $\mathrm{q}=3 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}$
Potential $\mathrm{V}=1.21 \mathrm{~V}$
$ K=\left(3 \times 10^{-19}\right) \times(1.21)=3.63 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} $
The momentum ( p ) of a particle of mass m is related to its kinetic energy ( K ) by:
$ K=\frac{p^2}{2 m} \Rightarrow p=\sqrt{2 m K} $
Substituting $\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{qV}$ :
$ \mathrm{p}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mqV}} $
The de-Broglie wavelength is given by:
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}} $
Substituting the expression for momentum:
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mqV}}} $
Substituting the given values:
$ \mathrm{h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} . \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{~m}=6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{q}=3 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C} \text { and } \mathrm{V}=1.21 \mathrm{~V} $
So, the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the particle is,
$ \lambda=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times\left(6 \times 10^{-27}\right) \times\left(3 \times 10^{-19}\right) \times 1.21}} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\lambda=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{36 \times 10^{-46} \times 1.21}}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\lambda=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{6 \times 10^{-23} \times 1.1}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\lambda=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{6.6 \times 10^{-23}}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\lambda=1 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~m}=\alpha \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \lambda=10 \times 10^{-12}=\alpha \times 10^{-12} \Rightarrow \alpha=10 $
Therefore, the value of $\alpha$ is 10 .
Hence, the correct answer is $\mathbf{1 0}$.

The de Broglie wavelength for an electron accelerated through the potential difference of $V_1$ volt is $\lambda_1$. When the potential difference is changed to $V_2$ volt, the associated de Broglie wavelength is increased by $50 \%$. If $\left(V_1 / V_2\right)=(9 / \alpha)$, then the value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$。
Explanation:
The de Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is given by:
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}} $
Where h is Planck's constant and p is the momentum.
The kinetic energy ( $K$ ) of an electron accelerated through a potential $V$ is $K=e V=\frac{p^2}{2 m}$
$ \mathrm{p}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{meV}} $
Substituting p into the wavelength formula:
$ \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{meV}}} $
For a given particle (electron), the wavelength is inversely proportional to the square root of the potential,
$ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{V}} $
So, the ratio of wavelengths in two cases is,
$ \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}} $
The initial wavelength is $\lambda_1$.
The final wavelength is $\lambda_2=\lambda_1+50 \%$ of $\lambda_1=1.5 \lambda_1=\frac{3}{2} \lambda_1$.
Substituting these into the ratio :
$ \frac{\frac{3}{2} \lambda_1}{\lambda_1}=\sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}} $
$\Rightarrow $ $\frac{3}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}$
$\Rightarrow $ $\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2=\frac{V_1}{V_2}$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\frac{9}{4}=\frac{9}{\alpha} \Rightarrow \alpha=4 $
Therefore, the value of $\alpha$ is 4 .

Explanation:
Let the momentum of $\mathrm{e}^{-}$at any time t is p and its de-broglie wavelength is $\lambda$.
Then, $\mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\lambda}$
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{dp}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{-\mathrm{h}}{\lambda^2} \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & \mathrm{ma}=\mathrm{F}=-\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\lambda} \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}} \quad[\mathrm{~m}=\text { mass of } \mathrm{e}] \end{aligned}$
Where, -ve sign represents decrease in $\lambda$ with time
$\mathrm{ma}=\frac{-\mathrm{h}}{(\mathrm{~h} / \mathrm{p})^2} \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{a}=-\frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{\mathrm{mh}} \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & \mathrm{a}=-\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{~h}} \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}}=-\frac{\mathrm{ah}}{\mathrm{mv}^2}\quad\text{.... (1)} \end{aligned}$
here, $\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}} \frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_0}$
$\mathrm{a}=\frac{\sigma \mathrm{e}}{2 \mathrm{~m} \varepsilon_0}$
and $\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{at}$
$\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{at}$
Substituting values of a \& v in equation (1)
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}}=-\frac{2 \mathrm{~h} \varepsilon_0}{\sigma \mathrm{t}^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~d} \lambda}{\mathrm{dt}} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=2 \end{aligned}$

Explanation:
Ionization of H (ground state at –13.6 eV)
• Photon of energy $E_1=h\nu_1$ ionizes H and leaves the electron with 10 eV.
• Energy conservation (neglecting proton recoil):
$ E_1 = 13.6\;\text{eV} \;+\;10\;\text{eV} =23.6\;\text{eV}. $
Formation of positronium (Ps)
• Positron initially at rest, electron arrives with 10 eV.
• Ps ground‐state binding energy is 6.8 eV (half of hydrogen’s 13.6 eV).
• The newly formed Ps moves with 5 eV of center‐of‐mass (COM) kinetic energy and emits a photon of energy $E_2=h\nu_2$.
• Writing energy conservation (zero energy set at free e⁺ + e⁻ at rest):
$ \underbrace{10\;\text{eV}}_{\text{initial KE}} =\;\underbrace{(-6.8\;\text{eV})}_{\text{binding}} \;+\;\underbrace{5\;\text{eV}}_{\text{COM KE}} \;+\;E_2 $
so
$ E_2 = 10 -5 +6.8 = 11.8\;\text{eV}. $
Difference between the two photon energies
$ E_1 - E_2 = 23.6\;\text{eV} \;-\;11.8\;\text{eV} = 11.8\;\text{eV}. $
Answer: The difference $h\nu_1 - h\nu_2$ is 11.8 eV.

Using Bohr quantization :
$ \begin{aligned} & m_e v r=n \hbar \\ \Rightarrow & m_e v \cdot \frac{n^2 a_0}{Z}= \frac{nh}{2 \pi} \\ \Rightarrow & p=m_e v=\frac{\hbar h}{2 \pi} \cdot \frac{Z}{n^2 a_0}=\frac{Z h}{2 \pi n a_0} \\ & n=3 \text { so } p=\frac{Z h}{6 \pi a_0} \end{aligned} $
de Broglie wavelength, $\lambda_e=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\frac{2 h}{6 \pi q_0}}$
$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \lambda_e=\frac{6 \pi a_0}{Z}\\ &\text { Neutron's de Broglie wavelength : }\\ &E=k_B T \text { (given) } \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} p & =\sqrt{2 m_N E}=\sqrt{2 m_N k_B T} \\ \lambda_n & =\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m_N k_B T}} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { Now, equating the wavelengths, }\\ &\begin{aligned} & \frac{6 \pi a_0}{Z}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m_N k_B T}} \\ \Rightarrow & \sqrt{2 m_N k_B T}=\frac{Z h}{6 \pi a_0} \\ \Rightarrow & 2 m_N k_B T=\frac{Z^2 h^2}{36 \pi^2 a_0^2} \\ \Rightarrow & T=\frac{Z^2 h^2}{72 m_N k_B \pi^2 a_0^2} \\ & T=\frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B} \text { (given) } \end{aligned} \end{aligned} $
$ \text { So, } \alpha=72 $
