Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: Two particles move at right angle to each other. Their de Broglie wavelengths are \( \lambda_1 \) and \( \lambda_2 \) respectively. The particles suffer a perfectly inelastic collision. The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) of the final particle is given by
(a) \( \lambda=\sqrt{\lambda_1\lambda_2} \)
(b) \( \lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_1+\lambda_2}2 \)
(c) \( \dfrac2\lambda=\dfrac1{\lambda_1}+\dfrac1{\lambda_2} \)
(d) \( \dfrac1{\lambda^2}=\dfrac1{\lambda_1^2}+\dfrac1{\lambda_2^2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \dfrac1{\lambda^2}=\dfrac1{\lambda_1^2}+\dfrac1{\lambda_2^2} \)

Explanation:
1. Momentum is conserved as a vector: \( p^2=p_1^2+p_2^2 \) (perpendicular momenta).
2. With \( p=h/\lambda \): \( \dfrac1{\lambda^2}=\dfrac1{\lambda_1^2}+\dfrac1{\lambda_2^2} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Einstein's equation or the de Broglie relation first, and keep energies in eV with hc = 1240 eV nm.
2. Check that the answer is consistent with the threshold condition or a limiting case.

Question 2: If the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is equal to \( 10^{-3} \) times the wavelength of a photon of frequency \( 6\times10^{14} \) Hz, then the speed of the electron is (\( c=3\times10^8 \) m/s, \( h=6.63\times10^{-34} \) J s, \( m_e=9.1\times10^{-31} \) kg)
(a) \( 1.8\times10^6\ \text{m/s} \)
(b) \( 1.45\times10^6\ \text{m/s} \)
(c) \( 1.1\times10^6\ \text{m/s} \)
(d) \( 1.7\times10^6\ \text{m/s} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 1.45\times10^6\ \text{m/s} \)

Explanation:
1. Photon wavelength \( =\dfrac{3\times10^8}{6\times10^{14}}=5\times10^{-7} \) m, so the electron wavelength is \( 5\times10^{-10} \) m.
2. \( v=\dfrac h{m\lambda}=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{9.1\times10^{-31}\times5\times10^{-10}}=1.46\times10^6 \) m/s.

Teacher's Note:

2. Check that the answer is consistent with the threshold condition or a limiting case.

Question 3: A photoelectric material of work function \( \varphi_0 \) is illuminated with light of wavelength \( \lambda\ (\lt hc/\varphi_0) \). The fastest photoelectron has de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda_d \). A change in the wavelength of the incident light by \( \Delta\lambda \) results in a change \( \Delta\lambda_d \) in \( \lambda_d \). The ratio \( \Delta\lambda_d/\Delta\lambda \) is proportional to
(a) \( \dfrac{\lambda_d^2}{\lambda^2} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{\lambda_d}{\lambda} \)

(b) Z = 11
(c) Z = 44
(d) Z = 6
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Z = 6

Explanation:
1. \( \dfrac1\lambda\propto(Z-1)^2 \): \( \dfrac{(Z-1)^2}{(11-1)^2}=\dfrac14 \).
2. \( Z-1=5\Rightarrow Z=6 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Einstein's equation or the de Broglie relation first, and keep energies in eV with hc = 1240 eV nm.

(a) \( m_1/m_2 \)
(b) \( m_2/m_1 \)
(c) \( \sqrt{m_2}/\sqrt{m_1} \)
(d) 1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 1

Explanation:
1. The parent is at rest, so the two products have equal and opposite momenta.
2. \( \lambda=h/p \) is the same for both: \( \lambda_1/\lambda_2=1 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Einstein's equation or the de Broglie relation first, and keep energies in eV with hc = 1240 eV nm.
2. Check that the answer is consistent with the threshold condition or a limiting case.

(a) 0.51 MeV
(b) 59 keV
(c) 1.2 MeV
(d) 13.6 eV
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 59 keV

Explanation:
1. \( \Delta E=\dfrac{hc}\lambda=\dfrac{1240\text{ eV nm}}{0.021\text{ nm}} \).
2. \( \Delta E=5.9\times10^4 \) eV \( =59 \) keV.

(a) 39
(b) 41
(c) 20
(d) 60
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 41

Explanation:
1. Moseley: \( \dfrac1\lambda=\tfrac34R(Z-1)^2 \).
2. \( (Z-1)^2=\dfrac{1}{0.75\times1.1\times10^7\times0.76\times10^{-10}}=1595\Rightarrow Z-1=39.9\Rightarrow Z=41 \).

Question 14: The de Broglie wave associated with an electron forms a standing wave between the atoms arranged in a one dimensional array with nodes at each of the atomic sites. One such standing wave is formed if the distance d between the atoms of the array is 2 \(\text{\AA}\). A similar standing wave is again formed if d is increased to 2.5 \(\text{\AA}\) but not for any intermediate value of d. The energy of the electron is close to (\( h=6.63\times10^{-34} \) J s, \( m=9.1\times10^{-31} \) kg)
(a) 15 eV
(b) 150 eV
(c) 1500 eV
(d) 1.5 eV
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 150 eV

Explanation:
1. Standing wave: \( d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2} \). Consecutive allowed spacings: \( \dfrac{n\lambda}2=2 \) and \( \dfrac{(n+1)\lambda}2=2.5 \), so \( \dfrac\lambda2=0.5\ \text{\AA} \) and \( \lambda=1\ \text{\AA} \), n = 4.
2. \( E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}=\dfrac{150.4}{\lambda^2(\text{\AA})}\) eV \( \approx150 \) eV.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Einstein's equation or the de Broglie relation first, and keep energies in eV with hc = 1240 eV nm.
