The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to its momentum. If the momentum is doubled, the wavelength:

Answer: halves.

  • A halves
  • B doubles
  • C becomes four times
  • D is unchanged

Correct answer: A. halves

Explanation: λ = h/p, so doubling p halves the wavelength.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
