The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of an uncharged particle of mass \( m \) at temperatures \( 27^{\circ}C \) and \( 127^{\circ}C \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Temperatures to Kelvin First, we need to convert the given temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin. - For \( 27^{\circ}C \): \[ T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] - For \( 127^{\circ}C \): \[ T_2 = 127 + 273 = 400 \, K \] ### Step 2: Write the Expression for de Broglie Wavelength The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) of a particle is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. For an uncharged particle, we can express momentum in terms of its mass \( m \) and its root mean square speed \( v_{rms} \): \[ p = mv_{rms} \] ### Step 3: Find the Expression for \( v_{rms} \) The root mean square speed \( v_{rms} \) for a gas is given by: \[ v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{m}} \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant. ### Step 4: Substitute \( v_{rms} \) into the Wavelength Formula Substituting \( v_{rms} \) into the expression for momentum: \[ p = m \cdot v_{rms} = m \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{m}} = \sqrt{3mRT} \] Thus, the de Broglie wavelength becomes: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{3mRT}} \] ### Step 5: Determine the Ratio of Wavelengths Since \( h \) and \( m \) are constants for the same particle, we can express the ratio of the wavelengths at the two temperatures: \[ \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{\sqrt{3mRT_2}}{\sqrt{3mRT_1}} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Values of \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) Now substituting \( T_1 = 300 \, K \) and \( T_2 = 400 \, K \): \[ \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \sqrt{\frac{400}{300}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 1.1547 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the uncharged particle at \( 27^{\circ}C \) to \( 127^{\circ}C \) is approximately: \[ \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \approx 1.1547 \]

To find the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of an uncharged particle of mass \( m \) at temperatures \( 27^{\circ}C \) and \( 127^{\circ}C \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Temperatures to Kelvin First, we need to convert the given temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin. - For \( 27^{\circ}C \): \[ T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K \] ...
