Correct answer: C

  1. Given relation

    The de-Broglie wavelength is λ=h2mE\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}λ=2mE​h​

  2. Write dimensions of each quantity

    • Wavelength: [λ]=[L][\lambda] = [L][λ]=[L]
    • Mass: [m]=[M][m] = [M][m]=[M]
    • Energy: [E]=[ML2T−2][E] = [ML^2T^{-2}][E]=[ML2T−2]
  3. Find dimensions of 2mE\sqrt{2mE}2mE​

    Since 2 is dimensionless, [mE]=[M] [ML2T−2]=[M2L2T−2][mE] = [M]\,[ML^2T^{-2}] = [M^2L^2T^{-2}][mE]=[M][ML2T−2]=[M2L2T−2]

    Therefore, [mE]=[MLT−1][\sqrt{mE}] = [M L T^{-1}][mE​]=[MLT−1]

  4. Use the de-Broglie formula to find [h][h][h]

    From λ=h2mE\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}λ=2mE​h​ we get [h]=[λ] [2mE][h] = [\lambda]\,[\sqrt{2mE}][h]=[λ][2mE​]

    So, [h]=[L] [MLT−1]=[ML2T−1][h] = [L]\,[MLT^{-1}] = [ML^2T^{-1}][h]=[L][MLT−1]=[ML2T−1]

  5. Match with the options

    [h]=[ML2T−1][h] = [ML^2T^{-1}][h]=[ML2T−1]

    This corresponds to Option C.

  6. Verification with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: C

    Derived answer: C

    Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
