Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The de Broglie wavelength of a macroscopic object is typically unmeasurable. | Reason (R): For macroscopic objects, the momentum is so large that the associated de Broglie wavelength becomes extremely small.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context states that macroscopic objects have a large momentum, making their de Broglie wavelength extremely small and beyond measurement, explaining why they don't show wave-like properties.
