List of top Physics Questions on Wave Nature of Matter

A particle of mass \(M\) at rest splits up into two particles of masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) having non-zero velocities. Calculate the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths associated with the two particles.

Assertion (A) : If accelerated electrons are passed through a narrow slit, a diffraction pattern is observed. Reason (R) : Electrons behave as both particles and waves.

A proton accelerated through a potential difference \(V\) has a de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\). On doubling the potential difference, the de-Broglie wavelength of the proton

The ratio of de Broglie wavelength of an electron to that of a proton moving with the same kinetic energy is:
