NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The wave nature of particles like electrons is significant due to their small masses and momenta. | Reason (R): Macroscopic objects do not exhibit wave nature in everyday life because their de Broglie wavelengths are extremely small.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The wave nature of particles is significant for small masses like electrons, as their de Broglie wavelengths are measurable. For macroscopic objects, the wavelengths are too small to measure, which explains the lack of observable wave nature.
