The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided, using De Broglie's equation to understand the relationship between wavelength and velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the wavelength associated with a moving particle becomes double if its velocity is doubled." - We need to evaluate if this statement is true or false. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "the wavelength associated with a moving object is inversely proportional to its velocity." - We need to check if this statement is true. 3. **Using De Broglie's Equation**: - According to De Broglie's hypothesis, the wavelength (λ) associated with a moving particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is the mass of the particle, and \( v \) is its velocity. 4. **Analyzing the Wavelength with Changing Velocity**: - If we denote the initial velocity as \( v \) and the initial wavelength as \( \lambda_1 \): \[ \lambda_1 = \frac{h}{mv} \] - If the velocity is doubled (i.e., \( v \) becomes \( 2v \)), the new wavelength \( \lambda_2 \) will be: \[ \lambda_2 = \frac{h}{m(2v)} = \frac{h}{2mv} = \frac{1}{2} \lambda_1 \] - This shows that when the velocity is doubled, the wavelength is halved, not doubled. 5. **Conclusion on Assertion and Reason**: - Since the assertion claims that the wavelength doubles when the velocity doubles, and our calculation shows that it actually halves, the assertion is **false**. - The reason states that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the velocity, which is indeed true based on the derived relationship. 6. **Final Evaluation**: - Therefore, the assertion is **false** and the reason is **true**. ### Summary: - **Assertion**: False - **Reason**: True
