Assertion : According to de Broglie, the wavelengths associated with electrons and other subatomic particles can be detected experimentally.
Reason : The wavelength associated with any material particle is directly proportional to its mass,

A

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

Assertion is true but reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to de Broglie eqation, `lamda=h/(mv)`, hence wavelength is inversely proportional to mass of a particle and hence can be observed only for microscopic particles with very small mass.
