The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to derive the de Broglie wavelength in terms of kinetic energy, given that the numerical values of mass (m) and velocity (v) are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding de Broglie Wavelength**: The de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is mass, and \( v \) is velocity. 2. **Given Condition**: According to the problem, the numerical values of mass and velocity are equal. Therefore, we can write: \[ m = v \] 3. **Substituting Mass in the Wavelength Formula**: Substituting \( m \) with \( v \) in the de Broglie wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{h}{v \cdot v} = \frac{h}{v^2} \] 4. **Relating Kinetic Energy**: The kinetic energy (K.E) of an object is given by the formula: \[ K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Since \( m = v \), we can substitute \( m \) in the kinetic energy formula: \[ K.E = \frac{1}{2} v \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2} v^3 \] 5. **Expressing \( v^2 \) in Terms of Kinetic Energy**: Rearranging the kinetic energy equation gives: \[ v^2 = \frac{2 \cdot K.E}{m} \] 6. **Substituting \( v^2 \) Back into the Wavelength Formula**: Now, substituting \( v^2 \) back into the wavelength formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{v^2} = \frac{h}{\frac{2 \cdot K.E}{m}} = \frac{hm}{2 \cdot K.E} \] 7. **Final Expression**: Since \( m = v \), we can also express the wavelength as: \[ \lambda = \frac{hv}{2 \cdot K.E} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the de Broglie wavelength in terms of kinetic energy, given that the numerical values of mass and velocity are equal, can be expressed as: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{2 \cdot K.E} \] ### Correct Options: From the analysis, we find that both options 1 and 2 are correct, making option 3 the right answer.
