The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that the kinetic energy (K.E) of two subatomic particles having the same de Broglie wavelength is the same. - The formula for kinetic energy is given by: \[ K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - The de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is the mass of the particle, and \( v \) is its velocity. 2. **Relating K.E and de Broglie Wavelength**: - Rearranging the de Broglie wavelength formula gives: \[ mv = \frac{h}{\lambda} \] - Substituting \( mv \) into the kinetic energy formula: \[ K.E = \frac{1}{2} m \left(\frac{h}{m\lambda}\right)^2 = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2} \] - This shows that kinetic energy is inversely proportional to the mass \( m \) when the wavelength \( \lambda \) is constant. 3. **Analyzing the Kinetic Energy for Different Particles**: - If we take two different subatomic particles (e.g., an electron and a proton) with the same de Broglie wavelength, they will have different masses. - Since kinetic energy is inversely proportional to mass, the kinetic energies of the two particles cannot be the same if their masses are different. - Therefore, the assertion (A) is **false**. 4. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that de Broglie's wavelength is directly related to the mass of subatomic particles. - However, from the de Broglie wavelength formula, we see that: \[ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{m} \] - This indicates that the wavelength is **inversely** related to mass, not directly related. - Therefore, the reason (R) is also **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are false. - Hence, the correct option is **D**: Both assertion and reason are false.
