11.Dual Nature of Radiation and matter
medium
An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $1000$ volts. Its velocity is nearly
A
$3.8 \times {10^7}m/s$
B
$1.9 \times {10^6}m/s$
C
$1.9 \times {10^7}m/s$
D
$5.7 \times {10^7}m/s$
Solution
(c) If the voltage given is $V$, then the energy of electron
$\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = eV$
$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac{{2eV}}{m}} $
$ = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ – 19}} \times 1000}}{{9.1 \times {{10}^{ – 31}}}}} = 1.875 \times {10^7}$$ \approx 1.9 \times {10^7}m/s$
