Question 11 Mark
Assertion (A): If a proton and electron are moving with same velocity, then wavelength of de-Broglie wave associated with electron is longer than that associated with proton.
Reason (R): The wavelength of de-Broglie wave associated with a moving particle is inversely proportional to its mass.
Reason (R): The wavelength of de-Broglie wave associated with a moving particle is inversely proportional to its mass.
Answer
View full question & answer→(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: $\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}$
Both proton and electron are moving with same velocity. So, $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{m}$. So, the reason is true.
So, wavelength of electron > wavelength of proton. So, the assertion is true and reason is the proper explanation of the assertion.
