JEE MainPhysicsDual Nature of RadiationMCQ+4 / −1
A nucleus A, with a finite de-broglie wavelength 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 B and C of B and C are respectively :
- AA, 2 A
- B2 A, A
- CA, A/2
- DA/2, A

Correct answer: D
-
Let the mass and initial momentum of nucleus be: Since its de-Broglie wavelength is ,
-
After fission: The nucleus splits into two equal masses, so each fragment has mass
Let the velocity of be in the same direction as . Then moves in the opposite direction with velocity equal to half of :
-
**Write momenta of and : **
-
Apply conservation of momentum: Taking the direction of as positive,
-
**Compare and with : ** Magnitude of momentum of :
-
Use de-Broglie relation : For ,
For ,
-
Final result:
So the correct option is D.
