Identify the de – Broglie expression from the following.(a) λ=h×p(b) λ=\(\frac {h}{p}\)(c) λ=h+p(d) λ=h-pI have been asked this question during a job interview.My question comes from Wave Nature of Matter in chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (b) λ=\(\frac {h}{p}\)

The explanation is: de – Broglie EQUATION states that matter can act as waves as WELL as particles. So, the de Broglie equation helps us understand the concept of matter having a wavelength. The EXPRESSION forde – Broglie wavelength is given as:

λ=\(\frac {h}{p} = \frac {h}{mv}\)

Where h is the Planck’s constant; p is the momentum; m is the MASS of the particle and v is the velocity of the particle.
