Dual Nature of Radiation question

2021 · 18 Mar · Shift 1 · Q54

JEE MainPhysicsDual Nature of RadiationMCQ+4 / −1
A particle is travelling 4 time as fast as an electron. Assuming the ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of a particle to that of electron is 2 : 1, the mass of the particle is :
  1. A
    116{1 \over {16}}161​ times the mass of e −-−
  2. B
    8 times the mass of e −-−
  3. C
    16 times the mass of e −-−
  4. D
    18{1 \over {8}}81​ times the mass of e −-−

Correct answer: D

  1. Use de-Broglie wavelength relation

    The de-Broglie wavelength is λ=hmv\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}λ=mvh​

  2. Write wavelengths for the particle and the electron

    For the particle: λp=hmpvp\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p v_p}λp​=mp​vp​h​

    For the electron: λe=hmeve\lambda_e = \frac{h}{m_e v_e}λe​=me​ve​h​

  3. Form the ratio

    Given that the ratio of wavelength of particle to electron is 2:12:12:1, λpλe=2\frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_e} = 2λe​λp​​=2

    So, h/(mpvp)h/(meve)=2\frac{h/(m_p v_p)}{h/(m_e v_e)} = 2h/(me​ve​)h/(mp​vp​)​=2 mevempvp=2\frac{m_e v_e}{m_p v_p} = 2mp​vp​me​ve​​=2

  4. Use the speed condition

    The particle travels 444 times as fast as the electron: vp=4vev_p = 4v_evp​=4ve​

    Substitute into the ratio: mevemp(4ve)=2\frac{m_e v_e}{m_p (4v_e)} = 2mp​(4ve​)me​ve​​=2 me4mp=2\frac{m_e}{4m_p} = 24mp​me​​=2

  5. Solve for the particle mass

    me=8mpm_e = 8m_pme​=8mp​ mp=me8m_p = \frac{m_e}{8}mp​=8me​​

  6. Match with the options

    The mass of the particle is 18 times the mass of electron\boxed{\frac{1}{8} \text{ times the mass of electron}}81​ times the mass of electron​

    So the correct option is D.
