Quantum Numbers, X-rays & Other Questions

The graph which shows the variation of the de Broglie wavelength (λ\lambda) of a particle and its associated momentum (p) is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. de Broglie relation: λ=hp\lambda = \frac{h}{p}, so λp=h\lambda p = h = constant.
  2. λ∝1p\lambda \propto \frac{1}{p} gives a rectangular hyperbola, falling steeply and approaching the axes.
  3. So the answer is (d).
