A particle is dropped from height H. The de-Broglie wavelength of the particle as a function of height is proportional to: |
H $H^{1/2}$ $H^0$ $H^{-1/2}$ |
$H^{-1/2}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $H^{-1/2}$ The De-Broglie Wavelength is - $λ=\frac{h}{momentum (P)}$ and, Momentum, $P=mv$ $=m\sqrt{2g(H-h)}$ $[v=\sqrt{2g(H-h)}]$ Hence, $λ=\frac{h}{m\sqrt{2g(H-h)}}⇒λ∝\frac{1}{\sqrt{H}}$ |
