The speed of electrons in a scanning electron microscope is $1 \times 10^{7} \, m/s$. If protons having the same speed are used instead of electrons,then the resolving power of the scanning proton microscope will be changed by a factor of:

  • A
    $1837$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{1837}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{1837}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1837}}$

Which of the following has the largest de Broglie wavelength?

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, mg$ has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity of $3 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. The velocity of the particle is (mass of electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$).

What is the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of a deuteron and a proton accelerated through the same potential difference?

The de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron,accelerated through a potential difference of $121 \ V$ is about:
[Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,mass of electron $m = 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$,charge of electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$] (in $nm$)

After absorbing a slowly moving neutron of mass $m_{N}$ (momentum $0$),a nucleus of mass $M$ breaks into two nuclei of masses $m_{1}$ and $5m_{1}$ $(6m_{1} = M + m_{N})$ respectively. If the de-Broglie wavelength of the nucleus with mass $m_{1}$ is $\lambda$,then the de-Broglie wavelength of the other nucleus will be:
