The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that the kinetic energy (K.E) of two subatomic particles having the same de Broglie wavelength is the same. - According to the de Broglie hypothesis, the momentum \( p \) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( \lambda \) is the de Broglie wavelength. 2. **Analyzing the Kinetic Energy**: - The kinetic energy of a particle is given by the formula: \[ K.E = \frac{p^2}{2m} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the particle. - If two particles have the same de Broglie wavelength, their momentum \( p \) will be the same because \( p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \) and \( \lambda \) is constant for both particles. 3. **Dependence on Mass**: - Since \( p \) is the same for both particles, the kinetic energy will depend on their masses: \[ K.E = \frac{p^2}{2m} \] - Therefore, if the masses of the two particles are different, their kinetic energies will also be different. Hence, the assertion is **false**. 4. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that de Broglie's wavelength is directly related to the mass of subatomic particles. - From the de Broglie equation, we can derive: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] - This shows that the de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass (and velocity) of the particle. Therefore, the statement that it is directly related to mass is also **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are false statements. - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 4: Both assertion and reason are false.
