Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2025

An electron with mass ' m ' with an initial velocity $(\mathrm{t}=0) \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=\mathrm{v}_0 \hat{i}\left(\mathrm{v}_0>0\right)$ enters a magnetic field $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{B}_0 \hat{j}$. If the initial de-Broglie wavelength at $\mathrm{t}=0$ is $\lambda_0$ then its value after time ' t ' would be :

  1. A $\frac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{\mathrm{e}^2 \mathrm{~B}_0^2 \mathrm{t}^2}{\mathrm{~m}^2}}}$
  2. B $\lambda_0$ Correct answer
  3. C $\lambda_0 \sqrt{1+\frac{\mathrm{e}^2 \mathrm{~B}_0^2 \mathrm{t}^2}{\mathrm{~m}^2}}$
  4. D $\frac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{1+\frac{\mathrm{e}^2 \mathrm{~B}_0^2 \mathrm{t}^2}{\mathrm{~m}^2}}}$

Solution

<p>Magnetic field does not work</p> <p>$\therefore$ Speed will not charge, so De-Broglie wavelength remains same.</p>
