Question 1 - Answer (A) Goes to infinity
Question 2 - (B) 4.53 x 10^-35 m
Question 3 - Answer (C) Light exhibits particle characteristics when interacting with solid matter.
- Answer (B) All matter exhibits both wave and particle characteristics.
Question 4- (C) 1.68 x 10^8 m/s
Question 5- (A) De Broglie
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1: (A) Goes to Infinity
(Explanation: - In accordance with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that the product of the uncertainties in position and momentum of a particle cannot be less than Planck's constant divided by 4π. Therefore, if the uncertainty in momentum approaches zero, the uncertainty in position must approach infinity to satisfy this principle).
Question 2:
The De Broglie wavelength of a 1.22 kg discusses moving at a speed of 12 m/s is approximately.
4.53 x 10^-35 m
Calculation:
De Broglie wavelength is given by the equation:
wavelength = h/mv, Where:
- h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-35 J.s)
- m is the mass of the object (1.22 kg in this case)
- v is the velocity of the object (12 m/s in this case)
So, substituting these values into the equation you get:
wavelength = 6.626 x 10^-34 / 1.22 * 12
Answer (B) = 4.53 x 10^-35 m
Question 3:
- Answer (C) Light exhibits particle characteristics when interacting with solid matter. (Explanation: - Such as diffraction and interference patterns. This is the basis for techniques like X-ray crystallography used to determine molecular structures.)
- Answer (B) All matter exhibits both wave and particle characteristics. (Explanation: - This was first proposed by Louis de Broglie in his Ph.D. thesis in 1924.)
- Statement (D) is false, because, all matter will have a specific De Broglie wavelength only when only when matter is moving or having momentum.
- Statement (A) is also False!
Question 4:
Given:
Mass = 1.05 x 10^-17 kg
wavelength = 3.78 x 10^-25 m
De Broglie wavelength:
wavelength = h/mv, Where:
h = Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10^-34
3.78 x 10^-25 = 6.63 x 10^-34 / 1.05 x 10^-17 x v
V = 6.63 x 10^-34 / 3.78 x 10^-25 x 1.05 x 10^-17
v = 1.68 x 108 m/s
So, the Speed of the Particle:
Answer : (C) 1.68 x 108 m/s
Question 5: Self Explanatory
Answer: (A) De Broglie
(Explanation:- Louis de Broglie proposed that all matter can exhibit wave-like behavior. This means that particles can display properties of both waves and particles, depending on how they are observed.)
Hope this helps you to further understand your studies!
I have explained the best way that I can!
