Question

Does de-Broglie wavelength depend on charge?

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to de-Broglie equation.

$\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}$

Where $\lambda$is the wavelength, $h$ is the Plank's constant, $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is the velocity.

Since the above equation does not depend on charge, it depends on the mass and velocity of the object.

however, it depends on the momentum. Therefore, if an electric field accelerates a charged particle, then the momentum acquired would depend on the charge.

Hence, de-Broglie wavelength depends on charge when the electric field accelerates a charged particle.
