If the kinetic energy of the particle is increased by 16 times, the percentage change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is –
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
de Broglie wavelength,
where mis the mass and 
is the kinetic energy of the particle.
When kinetic energy of the particle is increased to 16 times, then its de Broglie wavelength becomes,
% change in the de Broglie wavelength
