Two base balls(masses; m1=100g, and m2=50g) are thrown. Both move with uniform velocity, but the velocity of m2 is 1.5 times that of m1.The ration of de Broglie wavelengths λ(m1) : λ(m2) is given by
- 4:3
- 3:4
- 2:1
- 1:2
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Given :
m1 = 100 g
V1 = V1 m/s
m2 = 50 g
V2 = 1.5 V1 m/s
Now, Using the formula of de-Broglie's wavelength, we will get
\(\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\)
\(⇒\frac{λ_1}{λ_2}=\frac{m_2V_2}{m_1V_1}=\frac{50\times1.5V_1}{100V_1}=\frac{3}{4}\)
So, the correct option is (B) : 3 : 4

De Broglie Hypothesis
One of the equations that are commonly used to define the wave properties of matter is the de Broglie equation. Basically, it describes the wave nature of the electron.
De Broglie Equation Derivation and de Broglie Wavelength
Very low mass particles moving at a speed less than that of light behave like a particle and waves. De Broglie derived an expression relating to the mass of such smaller particles and their wavelength.
Plank’s quantum theory relates the energy of an electromagnetic wave to its wavelength or frequency.
E = hν …….(1)
E = mc2……..(2)
As the smaller particle exhibits dual nature, and energy being the same, de Broglie equated both these relations for the particle moving with velocity ‘v’ as,
This equation relating the momentum of a particle with its wavelength is de Broglie equation and the wavelength calculated using this relation is the de Broglie wavelength.
