$A$ stationary mass $M$ splits into two fragments of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. What is the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths,${\lambda _1}/{\lambda _2}$?

  • A
    $m_1/m_2$
  • B
    $m_2/m_1$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{m_1}/\sqrt{m_2}$

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis,the wavelength associated with a moving electron of mass $m$ is $\lambda_e$. Using the mass-energy relation and Planck's quantum theory,the wavelength associated with a photon is $\lambda_p$. If the energy $(E)$ of the electron and the photon is the same,then the relation between $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ is:

If the potential difference used to accelerate electrons is doubled,by what factor does the de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ associated with the electrons change?

Find the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of an oxygen molecule at $21^oC$ to that of a nitrogen molecule at $63^oC$.

The velocity of a particle $A$ is $3$ times the velocity of a proton. If the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the particle $A$ and the proton is $3:2$,the mass of the particle $A$ is (where $m_{p}$ is the mass of the proton).

Assertion $(A):$ $A$ particle of mass $M$ at rest decays into two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$,having non-zero velocities. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths is unity.
Reason $(R):$ Here,we cannot apply the conservation of linear momentum.
