    A particle is dropped from a height H. The de-Broglie wavelength of the particle as a function of height is proportional to

    A) H

    B) \[{{\operatorname{H}}^{1/2}}\]

    C) \[{{\operatorname{H}}^{o}}\]

    D) \[{{\operatorname{H}}^{-1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Option [d] is correct.
    Explanation: Velocity v, of freely falling body after falling from a height H, will be : \[\operatorname{H}=v=\sqrt{2gH}\]
    We know that de-Broglie wavelength, \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\]
    \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{h}{m\sqrt{2gH}}\]
    h, m, and g are constant
    \[\therefore \frac{h}{m\sqrt{2g}}\operatorname{is} constant\Rightarrow \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{H}}\Rightarrow \lambda \propto {{\operatorname{H}}^{-1/2}}\]
