Which of the following has the largest de Broglie wavelength?

  1. A a bullet of mass 0.02 kg moving with speed 1 km/s
  2. B a ball of mass 0.06 kg moving with speed 10 m/s
  3. C a particle of mass 0.01 kg moving with speed 100 m/s
  4. D a ball of mass 0.03 kg moving with speed 1 m/s
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a ball of mass 0.03 kg moving with speed 1 m/s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{mv}}\) as, mv is minimum for ball of mass \(0.03 \mathrm{~kg}\) and speed \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). So, it has highest wavelength.
