NEET 2024 Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

The graph which shows the variation of (1λ2)\left( \frac{1}{\lambda^2} \right) and its kinetic energy, E is (where λ\lambda is de Broglie wavelength of a free particle):

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The de Broglie wavelength λ\lambda is inversely proportional to the square root of the kinetic energy EE. Therefore, 1λ2\frac{1}{\lambda^2} is directly proportional to EE, resulting in a linear graph passing through the origin.
