CHM 101 Atomic Structure and Quantum Theory Objective Question

Question

What is the de Broglie relation?
Options
A E = mc²
B λ = h/mv
Correct Answer
C Δx·Δp ≥ h/4π
D E = hf
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The de Broglie relation is λ = h/mv, where λ is wavelength, h is Planck's constant, m is mass, and v is velocity. The quantity mv is called momentum.

Hint

The notes provide this equation relating wavelength to mass and velocity.
