Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
According to the de-Broglie relation:
\[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \quad \text{(where \(h\) is Planck’s constant)} \]
This equation shows an inverse relationship between the wavelength (\(\lambda\)) and momentum (\(p\)), which graphs as a rectangular hyperbola.
