NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The de Broglie wavelength is significant for sub-atomic particles but negligible for macroscopic objects.
Reason (R): The momentum of macroscopic objects is much larger compared to sub-atomic particles, making their de Broglie wavelength too small to measure.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that macroscopic objects have large momentum, resulting in very small de Broglie wavelengths, making wave-like properties unobservable.
