Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

Which of the following figures represent the variation of particle momentum and the associated de- Broglie wavelength?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. p=hλp = \dfrac{h}{\lambda}, so pλ=p\lambda = constant.
  2. The pp vs λ\lambda graph is a rectangular hyperbola (p falls as λ\lambda rises, never touching the axes).
  3. So the answer is (d).
