The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze each statement one by one and determine whether they are correct or not based on the principles of de-Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** Ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths of proton and α-particle of the same kinetic energy is 2:1. **Solution:** The de-Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is the mass of the particle, and \( v \) is its velocity. For kinetic energy (KE): \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \implies v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}} \] Substituting \( v \) into the de-Broglie wavelength formula gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{m\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mKE}} \] Thus, the de-Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass. Let \( m_p \) be the mass of the proton and \( m_{\alpha} \) be the mass of the α-particle (approximately 4 times the mass of the proton): \[ \frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_{\alpha}} = \frac{\sqrt{m_{\alpha}}}{\sqrt{m_p}} = \sqrt{\frac{4m_p}{m_p}} = 2 \] So, the ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of the proton to the α-particle is indeed 2:1. **Conclusion:** Statement A is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** If neutron, α-particle, and β-particle all are moving with the same kinetic energy, β-particle has maximum de-Broglie wavelength. **Solution:** We already know that the de-Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass. - Mass of β-particle (electron) \( m_{\beta} \approx 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \) kg - Mass of neutron \( m_n \approx 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \) kg - Mass of α-particle \( m_{\alpha} \approx 4 \times m_p \approx 6.64 \times 10^{-27} \) kg Since the β-particle has the smallest mass, it will have the largest de-Broglie wavelength when all particles have the same kinetic energy. **Conclusion:** Statement B is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** de-Broglie hypothesis treats particles as waves. **Solution:** The de-Broglie hypothesis indeed states that particles can exhibit wave-like behavior, which is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. **Conclusion:** Statement C is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D:** de-Broglie hypothesis treats waves as made of particles. **Solution:** This statement is not correct. The de-Broglie hypothesis primarily discusses the wave nature of particles, not the particle nature of waves. **Conclusion:** Statement D is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct alternatives are A, B, and C. ---
