An electron beam used in an electron microscope,when accelerated by a voltage of $20\,kV$,has a de-Broglie wavelength of $\lambda_0$. If the voltage is increased to $40\,kV$,then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron beam would be:

  • A
    $3 \lambda_0$
  • B
    $9 \lambda_0$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda_0}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
