According to the wave-particle duality of matter by de-Broglie, which of the following graph plot presents most appropriate relationship between wavelength of electron λ and momentum of electron p ?
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
According to the de-Broglie hypothesis according to which all matters have both particle and wave nature. where h = plank's constant, p = momentum, λ = wavelength of particle. This type of graph is called a rectangular hyperbola. As λ ∝ 1 p we will have a rectangular hyperbola. λ = h p λ ∝ 1 p ⇒ λ p = h (constant) So, the plot is a rectangular hyperbola.
