Physics-de Broglie Wavelength
NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following statements about de Broglie wavelength is correct?
A
Macroscopic objects display significant wave-like properties due to their de Broglie wavelength.
B
The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to its momentum.
C
Electrons moving at high speeds have negligible de Broglie wavelengths.
D
The de Broglie wavelength is measurable for macroscopic objects in everyday life.
Correct Answer
Option B
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.
