NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the structure of the atom and wave-particle duality is correct?
De Broglie's equation relates the wavelength of a particle to its momentum.
Photons have mass that can be calculated using their wavelength.
The speed of light is constant in all mediums regardless of their properties.
Wave functions for orbitals are identical for different energy levels in an atom.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
De Broglie's equation connects the wavelength of a particle to its momentum, which is fundamental to understanding wave-particle duality. Option B is incorrect because photons are massless. Option C is incorrect as the speed of light varies with the medium. Option D is incorrect since wave functions differ based on the energy levels.
