Comment on the applicability of the following concepts on moving particles :
(a) de Broglie's wave nature (b) Heisenberg's uncertainty 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) The wave length, `lambda=h//p`, where p is the momentum denoting particle nature
Hence, de Broglie.s wave nature is applicable to all moving particles
(b) The total uncertainty,`Deltax.Deltap=(h)/(4pim)`,  where m is the mass of the particle in motion
However, uncertainty principle is applicable only to tiny moving particles.
