The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze the Assertion** - The assertion states that "All microscopic bodies in motion have wave character." - According to de Broglie's hypothesis, every moving particle has an associated wavelength (λ), given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. **Hint for Step 1:** Recall the de Broglie wavelength formula and its significance in wave-particle duality. **Step 2: Understand the Implications of the Assertion** - Momentum (p) is defined as \( mv \) (mass times velocity). - For microscopic bodies (like electrons, atoms), the mass (m) is very small. - If the mass is small and the velocity is not zero, then the momentum will also be small, leading to a larger wavelength (λ). - Thus, microscopic bodies exhibit wave-like behavior due to their small mass. **Hint for Step 2:** Consider how mass affects the wavelength and the concept of wave-particle duality. **Step 3: Analyze the Reason** - The reason states that "Microscopic bodies have very large mass." - This statement is incorrect. In fact, microscopic bodies (like atoms and subatomic particles) have very small masses. **Hint for Step 3:** Compare the mass of microscopic bodies with macroscopic bodies to understand their scale. **Step 4: Conclusion** - Since the assertion is correct (microscopic bodies in motion do have wave character) and the reason is incorrect (they do not have large mass), we conclude that: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. **Final Answer:** - The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Summary: - Assertion: True - Reason: False - Correct Option: Assertion is correct, Reason is incorrect.
