Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a proton moving with a velocity of 2.0 × 10^5 m/s. (Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg, Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10^-34 J s)

A

98 × 10^-12 m

B

32 × 10^-13 m

C

48 × 10^-14 m

D

92 × 10^-15 m

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the de Broglie formula λ = h/p, where p = mv, the wavelength is computed as λ = 6.63 × 10^-34 J s / (1.67 × 10^-27 kg × 2.0 × 10^5 m/s) = 3.32 × 10^-13 m, illustrating the wave nature of particles.
