calculate the de broglie wavelength of a 1.2-kg rock thrown with a speed of 6.0 m/s into a pond. is this wavelength similar to that of the water waves pro- duced? explain.



Answer :

The de Broglie wavelength for a particle== 0.92 ×10⁻³⁴m.

de broglie wavelength is the wavelength associated with particle of mass m moving with velocity v.

p= h/ λ

where, p -is  the momentum of the atom;

h- Planck's constant - 6.626×10⁻³⁴ m²kg s⁻¹

λ- wavelength;

Momentum can be expressed as

p=m×v

where , m is  the mass of the particle;

v - the speed of the particle.

so,

λ = h/(m×v)

= ( 6.626×10⁻³⁴ m²kg s⁻¹)/(1.2kg × 6.0 m/s)

= (6.626×10⁻³⁴ m²kg s⁻¹)/7.2

= 0.92 ×10⁻³⁴ m
