Physics-de Broglie Wavelength

NEET Physics de Broglie Wavelength MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about de Broglie wavelength is correct?

A

The de Broglie wavelength of macroscopic objects is measurable and significant.

B

Sub-atomic particles exhibit significant wave-like properties that can be measured.

C

The de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the object's speed.

D

All particles, regardless of size, have a de Broglie wavelength that can be observed.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, while macroscopic objects do not show measurable wave-like properties due to their extremely small de Broglie wavelengths, sub-atomic particles like electrons exhibit significant and measurable wave characteristics.
