Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

What is the de Broglie wavelength of a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg) moving with a speed of 2.0 × 10^6 m/s?

A

98 × 10^-14 m

B

31 × 10^-11 m

C

98 × 10^-10 m

D

31 × 10^-14 m

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The de Broglie wavelength is calculated using λ = h/p, where p = mv. For a proton, λ = (6.63 × 10^-34 J s) / (1.67 × 10^-27 kg × 2.0 × 10^6 m/s) = 3.31 × 10^-14 m.
