    If the momentum of a particle is doubled, then its de-Broglie wavelength will:

    A)  become four times

    B)  become half

    C)  become two times

    D)  remain unchanged

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Momentum of a particle is related to de- Broglie wavelength through the relation given by \[p=\frac{h}{\lambda }\] where \[h\]is Plancks constant. or \[\lambda =\frac{h}{P}\] or \[\lambda \propto \frac{1}{P}\] i.e., de-Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle, so, if momentum is doubled, then de-Broglie wavelength will become half.
