The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion (A) and reason (R) provided: **Assertion (A):** If a stationary nucleus emits an alpha particle, the de Broglie wavelengths of the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle are equal. **Reason (R):** The magnitudes of the linear momenta of the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle are the same. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Conditions:** - We start with a stationary nucleus, which means both the nucleus and the alpha particle have an initial momentum of zero. - Let’s denote the daughter nucleus as \( N' \) and the emitted alpha particle as \( \alpha \). 2. **Applying Conservation of Linear Momentum:** - According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before the emission must equal the total momentum after the emission. - Initially, the momentum is zero: \[ p_{\text{initial}} = 0 \] - After the emission, the momentum can be expressed as: \[ p_{\text{final}} = p_{\alpha} + p_{N'} \] - Setting the initial and final momentum equal gives us: \[ 0 = p_{\alpha} + p_{N'} \] - This implies: \[ p_{\alpha} = -p_{N'} \] - Therefore, the magnitudes of the momenta are equal: \[ |p_{\alpha}| = |p_{N'}| \] 3. **Relating Momentum to de Broglie Wavelength:** - The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda \) is related to momentum \( p \) by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] - For the alpha particle: \[ \lambda_{\alpha} = \frac{h}{|p_{\alpha}|} \] - For the daughter nucleus: \[ \lambda_{N'} = \frac{h}{|p_{N'}|} \] - Since \( |p_{\alpha}| = |p_{N'}| \), we can conclude: \[ \lambda_{\alpha} = \lambda_{N'} \] 4. **Conclusion:** - Since we have shown that the de Broglie wavelengths of the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle are equal, the assertion (A) is correct. - Furthermore, since we established that the magnitudes of their momenta are the same, the reason (R) is also correct. - Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct, and the reason provides the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
