Which of the following can be chosen to analogously represent the behavior of a particle?(a) Metal rod(b) String(c) Elastic rubber(d) Glass rodThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.My query is from DE Broglie’s Explanation of Bohr’s Second Postulate of Quantisation topic in section Atoms of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (b) String

To elaborate: A string is USED to represent the BEHAVIOR of a particle analogously to the waves traveling on it.Particle waves can lead to standing waves held under resonant CONDITIONS. When a stationary string is PLUCKED, it causes several wavelengths to be excited. But, we know that only the ones which have nodes at the ends will survive.
