NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a wave associated with a particle having mass m and velocity v. Which part of the diagram represents the de Broglie wavelength?
The distance between consecutive wave peaks.
The height of the wave peaks.
The slope of the wave at any point.
The mass of the particle.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The de Broglie wavelength is defined as λ = h/p, where p is the momentum of the particle. It represents the wavelength of the wave associated with the particle, which is the distance between consecutive wave peaks.
