JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A particle of mass \(4\, {M}\) at rest disintegrates into two particles of mass \({M}\) and \(3 \,{M}\) respectively having non zero velocities. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of particle of mass \(M\) to that of mass \(3\, {M}\) will be :

  1. A \(1: 3\)
  2. B \(3: 1\)
  3. C \(1: \sqrt3\)
  4. D \(1: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to law of conservation of linear momentum, two particles will have equal and opposite momentum. The de Broglie wavelength is given by \(\lambda=\frac{ h }{ p } \quad \therefore \frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=1\)
