JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves Question Bank Mock Test - Electromagnetic Waves and Dual Nature

  • question_answer
    A material particle with a rest mass \[{{m}_{0}}\] is moving with a velocity of light c. Then, the wavelength of the de Broglie wave associated with it is

    A) \[(h/{{m}_{0}}c)\]        

    B) Zero

    C) \[\infty \]                       

    D) \[({{m}_{0}}c/h)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] We know that mass m in motion and the rest mass \[{{m}_{0}}\]is related through the equation \[m=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{c}^{2}}}}}\] As \[v=c,m=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{\sqrt{1-1}}=\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{0}=\infty \] Therefore, de Broglie wavelength is \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{h}{(\infty )(c)}=0\]
