Which of the following represents de Broglie equation?
Options
- A= h mv
- B= h mv
- C= h mp
- D= p
Correct answer
B. = h mv
Step-by-step solution
According to de Broglie's hypothesis, every moving particle is associated with a wave. The wavelength of the matter wave is inversely proportional to the momentum p of the particle. = h p Since momentum p = mv , where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle, the equation can be written as: = h mv Answer: = h mv
