12th Class Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): de-Broglie equation is significant for microscopic particles.
    Reason (R): de-Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass of a particle when velocity is kept constant.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is false and R is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct.
    Explanation: de-Broglie wavelength, \[\lambda =h/mv\],
    h and \[v\] remaining constant, \[\lambda \propto 1/m\]
    So, as the mass of the particle becomes smaller and smaller the de-Broglie wavelength of the particle becomes more and more significant.
    Hence, assertion and reason both are true and reason explains the assertion properly.
