Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The wavelength of a neutron with translation kinetic energy equal to
Concept introduction:
De-Broglie’s hypothesis suggested the wave like nature of particles. Any particle which has a linear momentum must also have a characteristic wavelength corresponding to that momentum. The wavelength can be calculated with the help of velocity.
(b)
Interpretation:
The wavelength of a tennis ball of mass of
Concept introduction:
