Question

If wavelength \( \lambda \) represents wave property and momentum \( p \) represents the particle property, then what will the expressions \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \) and \( p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \) represent?

Hint:

De Broglie's equation shows the wave-particle duality, linking wavelength with momentum.

Answer 1

Step 1: The expression \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \) represents the de Broglie wavelength, which describes the wave nature of particles. Step 2: The expression \( p = \frac{h}{\lambda} \) represents the particle's momentum derived from its wavelength. \[ \therefore \text{The correct answers are de Broglie wavelength and momentum.} \] \[ \boxed{\text{de Broglie wavelength, momentum}} \]
