Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

What is the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron (mass = 1.675 × 10^-27 kg) moving with a velocity of 2.0 × 10^3 m/s?

A

98 × 10^-10 m

B

31 × 10^-14 m

C

98 × 10^-12 m

D

5.29 × 10^-15 m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The de Broglie wavelength λ is calculated using λ = h/p, where p = mv. Substituting h = 6.63 × 10^-34 Js, m = 1.675 × 10^-27 kg, and v = 2.0 × 10^3 m/s gives λ = 1.98 × 10^-10 m.
