1.

If the momentum of an electron is required to be same as that of wave of 5200 A° wavelength, its velocity should be __________ m S⁻¹. (A) 10³ (B) 1.2 x 10³ (C) 1.4 x 10³ (D) 2.8 x 10³

Answer»

Option (C) is CORRECT.Explanation:According to the de Broglie hypothesis, the wavelength and the momentum of the WAVE associated with all the PARTICLES are related as .where, = wavelength. = PLANCK's CONSTANT = . = momentum = . = mass of the particle. = velocity with which it is moving..Given, .We know, mass of an electron, .Using the de Broglie hypothesis,Thus, the option (C) is correct.
