Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. A particle of mass 1 mg has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity of 3×106  ms–1. The velocity of the particle is:​​
    ​(mass of electron = 9.1×10–31 kg)
    1. 2.7× 10–18 ms–1
    2. 9 × 10–2 ms–1
    3. 3 × 10–31 ms–1
    4. 2.7×10–21 ms–1
Correct Option: D

Wavelength of particle (λ1)

=
h
=
h
mv(1 × 10-3) × v

where v is the velocity of the particle. ​Wave length of electron
2) =
h
(9.1 × 10-31) × (3 × 106)

But λ1 = λ2
h
=
h
(1 × 10-3) × v(9.1 × 10-31) × (3 × 106)

⇒ v =
9.1 × 10-31 × 3 × 106
10-3

= 2.73×10–21 ms–1
