Question : 21

Total: 50

Solution:

Concept:

Moving matter can exhibit a wavelength. This is the idea of wave-particle duality.

Explanation:

For a body of mass

M

moving with velocity

V

, the associated wavelength is given by the de Broglie equation:

\lambda = \frac{h}{MV}

Here,

h

is Planck's constant.

This shows that matter can behave like a wave as well as a particle.

Therefore, the phenomenon is described as the wave-particle paradox or wave-particle duality.

Answer:

D. wave-particles paradox
