If alpha, beta and gamma rays carry the same momentum, which has the longest wavelength?
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
On the basis of dual nature of light, de-Broglie suggested that the dual nature is not only of light, but each moving material particle has the dual nature. He assumed a wave to be associated with each moving material particle which is called the matter-wave. The wavelength of this wave is determined by the momentum of the particle. Ifis the momentum of the particle, the wavelength of the wave associated with it is
, whereis Planck's constant.
Since, it is given that, alpha, beta and gamma rays carry the same momentum, so they will have the same wavelength.
