Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 12

What is the de Broglie wavelength associated with a particle given its momentum?

A

The wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum.

B

The wavelength is directly proportional to mass.

C

The wavelength is independent of velocity.

D

The wavelength is proportional to kinetic energy.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the de Broglie relation, the wavelength (λ) is determined by the equation λ = h/p, where h is Planck's constant and p is momentum. This shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum.
