MHT CET 2023 Physics question

If the potential difference used to accelerate electrons is doubled, by what factor does the de-Broglie wavelength associated with electrons change?

Answer: (C)

Solution

For an electron accelerated through potential : , so the momentum is and the de-Broglie wavelength . If becomes , $λ' =
