On the basis of de Broglie equation the following

Last updated: 7/4/2023

On the basis of de Broglie equation the following conclusions can be drawn 1 Lighter the particle greater is its de Broglie wavelength for certain velocity ii Faster the particle moves smaller is its de Broglie wavelength iii The de Broglie wavelength is independent of the nature of the particle iv The de Broglie equation is applicable to microscopic particles such as electron proton atom molecule etc and has no significance for heavier particles The wavelength is too small in the case of heavier particles which is difficult to measure Let us apply the equation to a moving electron and a moving ball weighing 200 g or 0 2 kg both travelling with the same speed 106 m s For electron 34
