Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The wave-like properties of particles are significant in the sub-atomic domain. | Reason (R): The de Broglie wavelength of macroscopic objects is too small to be measured.

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, but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context explains that the de Broglie wavelength for macroscopic objects is extremely small, making wave properties unobservable, whereas in the sub-atomic domain, the wave nature is significant and measurable.
