NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about de Broglie wavelength is correct?
Macroscopic objects display significant wave-like properties due to their de Broglie wavelength.
The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to its momentum.
Electrons moving at high speeds have negligible de Broglie wavelengths.
The de Broglie wavelength is measurable for macroscopic objects in everyday life.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The de Broglie wavelength is given by the formula λ = h/p, where p is the momentum. This indicates that as momentum increases, the de Broglie wavelength decreases, which is significant in the sub-atomic domain but not for macroscopic objects.
