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 :
- Atimes the mass of e
- B8 times the mass of e
- C16 times the mass of e
- Dtimes the mass of e
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Use de-Broglie wavelength relation
The de-Broglie wavelength is
-
Write wavelengths for the particle and the electron
For the particle:
For the electron:
-
Form the ratio
Given that the ratio of wavelength of particle to electron is ,
So,
-
Use the speed condition
The particle travels times as fast as the electron:
Substitute into the ratio:
-
Solve for the particle mass
-
Match with the options
The mass of the particle is
So the correct option is D.
