Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

If λ\lambda and KK are de Broglie wavelength and kinetic energy, respectively, of a particle with constant mass. The correct graphical representation for the particle will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. λ=h2mK⇒1K=2mh2λ2\lambda = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{K} = \dfrac{2m}{h^2}\lambda^2.
  2. So 1K∝λ2\dfrac{1}{K} \propto \lambda^2: a parabola through the origin, curving upward.
  3. So the answer is (d).
