State de-Broglie hypothesis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Moving object sometimes acts as a wave and sometimes as a particle, or a wave is associated with the moving particle, which controls the particle in every respect.
This wave associated with the moving particle is called matter wave or de-Broglie wave, its wavelength is given by
`lamda=(h)/(p)=(h)/(mv)`.

On the basis of the de Broglie hypothesis, obtain the expression for the de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated from rest through a p.d. V.

Assertion : If the wavelength lamda of photon and de Broglie wavelength of electron are same , their energy is also same. Reason : Momentum of both the particles is same by de Broglie hypothesis.

The de-Broglie hypothesis predicts that a wave associated with any object has momentum. Why do we not observe the wave nature of a moving car?
