Which of the following figure represents the variation of particle momentum and the associated de Broglie wavelength?




To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between momentum and the de Broglie wavelength The de Broglie wavelength is given by the formula:where is Planck's constant and is the momentum of the particle.From the formula, we can see that is inversely proportional to This means that as the momentum increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.Let's analyze the options:• Option 1: The graph shows an increasing curve, which suggests that as increases, also increases. This is incorrect.• Option 2: The graph shows a linear decrease, which suggests a direct inverse relationship. This is correct.• Option 3: The graph shows a decreasing curve, which suggests that as increases, decreases. This is also correct.• Option 4: The graph shows an increasing linear relationship, which is incorrect.The correct graph should show a decrease in as increases, which is represented by Option 3.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3.
