    Which one is correct for de-Broglie equation?

    A)                  \[E=\frac{\lambda }{p}\]                             

    B)                  \[E=\frac{h}{\lambda }\]

    C)  \[E=\frac{h}{p}\]                            

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Key Idea According to de-Broglie, the wavelength associated with a particle of mass m, moving with velocity v is given by                 \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\]where,            h = Plancks constant According to Planck the energy of photon is given by                 \[E=hv\]                                               ... (i) where   \[v=\] frequency According to Einstein, mass and energy are related as                 \[E=m{{c}^{2}}\]                               ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii),                 \[hv=m{{c}^{2}}\]                 \[\frac{hc}{\lambda }=m{{c}^{2}}\]          \[\left( v=\frac{c}{\lambda } \right)\]                 \[\frac{h}{\lambda }=mc\]                 \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mc}\] or            \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\] or            \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\] In the question all the relations are incorrect for de-Broglie equation.
