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 exhibit significant wave-like properties.

B

The de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle.

C

De Broglie wavelength is measurable in the macroscopic domain.

D

Wave properties of particles are negligible in the sub-atomic domain.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The de Broglie wavelength is given by the relation λ = h/p, indicating that it is inversely proportional to momentum. This is significant in the sub-atomic domain, where wave-like properties are measurable, while macroscopic objects do not show these properties.
