According to de-Brogile, matter should exhibit dual behaviour, that is both particle and wave like properties. However, a cricket ball of mass 100 g does not move like a wave when it is thrown by a b owler at a speed of 100km/h. calculate the wavelength of the ball and explain why it does not show wave nature.

`lambda=(h)/(mv)`
`m=100 g=0.1kg." "v=100km//hr=(100xx1000m)/(60xx60s)=(1000)/(36)ms^(-1)`
`h=6.626xx10^(-23)Js" "lambda=(6.626xx10^(-34)Js)/(0.1kgxx(1000)/(36)ms^(-1))=6.626xx10^(-36)xx36m=238.5xx10^(-36)m`
Since the wavelength is very small, the wave nature cannot be detected.

De-Broglie hypothesized that material particles have wave like properties. Figure shows a small particle in a box. The particle simply bounces back and forth at constant speed. As particles also have wave like properties it can be considered to be a wave reflecting back and forth from the ends of the box. The reflections will create a standing wave analogous to standing wave on a string tied at both ends. Since a standing wave confined to a region can have only selected wavelength, momentum of the particle is quantized. We can safely assume that such a particle only has kinetic energy. This energy must also be quantized. What is momentum of particle in n^(th) mode of standing wave ?

Which of the following transitions can given a photon of visible light?

Radiation has dual nature, i.e., it possesess the properties of both, wave and particle. This prompted de-Broglie to prodict dual nature of moving material particles. Thus waves are associated with moving material particles which are called matter waves. The wavelength of matter waves is given by lambda=h/(mv) , where m is the mass, v is the speed of the particle and h is Planck's constant. Read the above paragraph and answer the following question: (i) How was the wave nature of electron established? (ii) What are the de-Broglie wavelength associated with a particle (i) at rest (ii) moving with infinite speed? (iii) What are the basic values displayed by this study?
