ParticleAof massmA=m2moving along thex-axis with velocityv0collides elastically with another particleBat rest having massmB=m3. If both the particles move along thex-axis after the collision, the changeλin the wavelength of the particleA, in terms of its de-Broglie wavelengthλ0before the collision is:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

v1=2m/30m2+m3+m2m3vm2+m3=v5

For particle A,

Initial de-Broglie wavelength

λ0=hm2v=2hmv

Final de-Broglie wavelength after collision.

λ1=hm2v5=10hmv=5λ0

Change in De-Broglie wavelength Δλ=λiλ0=4λ0
