Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. Which of the following moving particles (moving with same velocity) has largest wavelength of matter waves? ​​
    1. Electron
    2. α-particle ​
    3. Proton
    4. Neutron
Correct Option: A

de-Broglie wavelength

λ =
h
mv

For same velocity,
λ∝
1
m

Out of given particles, the mass of electron is minimum, so the associated de-Broglie wavelength is maximum for electron.
