Question Details

A body of mass 10 mg is moving with a velocity of 100 ms-1. The wavelength of de-Broglie wave associated with it would be (Note: h = 6.63 × 10^(-34) Js)

Options

A

6.63 × 10^(-37 )m

B

6.63 × 10^(-31 )m

C

6.63 × 10^(-34 )m

D

6.63 × 10^(-35 )m

Correct Answer :

6.63 × 10^(-31 )m

Solution :

The correct option is 6.63 × 10-31 m.

To find the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the moving body, we use de-Broglie's wavelength formula:
λ = h p = h m v
where:
λ is the de-Broglie wavelength,
h is Planck's constant, given as 6.63 × 10-34 J s,
m is the mass of the body, and
v is the velocity of the body.

First, we must convert all given quantities into Standard International (SI) units:
• Mass of the body, m=10 mg=10×106 kg=105 kg
• Velocity of the body, v=100 ms1=102 ms1

Now, we calculate the momentum (p) of the body:
p = m v = 105 kg × 102 ms1 = 103 kg ms1

Next, substitute the values of h and p into the de-Broglie wavelength equation:
λ = 6.63 × 1034 103
λ = 6.63 × 1034(3)
λ = 6.63 × 1031 m

Therefore, the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the body is 6.63 × 10-31 m.
