Q27.A nucleus A, with a finite de-broglie wavelength λA, undergoes spontaneous fission into two nuclei B and C of equal mass. B flies in the same direction as that of A, while C flies in the opposite direction with a velocity equal to half of that of B . The de-Broglie wavelengths λB and λC of B and C are respectively: , λA (1) λA, λA2 (2) λA2 (3) λA, 2λA (4) 2λA, λA

What This Question Tests

This question combines de Broglie wavelength concepts with the principle of momentum conservation during nuclear fission, requiring careful vector addition of momenta.

Concepts Tested
