A particle of mass M, at rest decays into two masses m 1 and m 2 with non-zero velocities. The ratio of de Broglie wavelengths of the particles λ 1 λ 2  is m n, then the minimum value of m+n  is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



As there is no external force

Linear momentum will be conserved

P1=P2=P

Now, de-Broglie wavelength

λ1=hP1 or λ2=hP2

⇒λ1λ2=P2P1=PP=1 = m n

⇒m+n=1+1=2
