NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The de Broglie wavelength of a macroscopic object is too small to be measured.
Reason (R): The momentum of macroscopic objects is generally large, leading to very small wavelengths according to the de Broglie equation.
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 de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum. Macroscopic objects have large momentum, resulting in wavelengths too small to measure, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
