Other factors being constant, a heavy object will have a longer de Broglie wavelength than a light object.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the formula λ = h/p, where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum of the object. Momentum (p) is given by the formula p = mv, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. So, for a given velocity, a lighter object will have a smaller momentum and hence a shorter de Broglie wavelength compared to a heavier object. Therefore, the statement is false.
