(a)
Interpretation: The given statements are to be authenticated.
Concept introduction: The relation between momentum and wavelength of matter was proposed by de Broglie. Light shows the properties of particle as well as wave according to de Broglie hypothesis.
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “the de Broglie wavelength of the heavier object is longer than that of the lighter one”.
(b)
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “if one object has twice as much mass as the other, its wavelength is one-half the wavelength of the other”.
(c)
To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “doubling the velocity of one of the objects will have the same effect on its wavelength as doubling its mass”.
