A nucleus A , with a finite de-broglie wavelength λ A , undergoes spontaneous fission into two nuclei B and C of equal mass. B flies in the same direction as that of A , while C flies in the opposite direction with a velocity equal to half of that of B . The de-Broglie wavelengths λ B and λ C of B and C are respectively:
Options
- Aλ A , λ A 2
- Bλ A 2 , λ A
- Cλ A , 2 λ A
- D2 λ A , λ A
Correct answer
B. λ A 2 , λ A
Step-by-step solution
h λ A = h λ B - h λ C …(i) Also λ C = 2 λ B ...(ii) From equation (i) & (ii), 1 λ A = 1 λ B - 1 2 λ B λ B = λ A 2 ;   λ C = λ A
