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

    A)  remain unchanged

    B)  become four times

    C)  become two times

    D)  become half

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    According to de-Broglie theory, the wavelength \[\lambda =\frac{\text{Plank }\!\!\!\!\text{ s}\,\text{constant}}{\text{momentum}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\lambda \propto \frac{1}{p}\] Hence, if momentum of particle is doubled then it is clear that wavelength will become half.
