While comparing the alpha particle, neutron, and beta particle, the alpha particle has the lowest de – Broglie wavelength.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during a job interview.The doubt is from Wave Nature of Matter in chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

For explanation: Yes, this is a true statement. In COMPARISON with beta PARTICLE and neutron, the alpha particle has a higher mass, followed by neutron and then beta particle. According to de – Broglie WAVELENGTH EQUATION, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass. Hence, the alpha particle has the LOWEST wavelength since it has the highest mass.
