Q18.Particle A of mass mA = m2 moving along the x -axis with velocity v0 collides elastically with another particle B at rest having mass mB = m3 . If both the particles move along the x -axis after the collision, the change Δλ in the wavelength of the particle A , in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength (λ0) before the collision is: (1) Δλ = 32 λ0 (2) Δλ = 52 λ0 (3) Δλ = 2λ0 (4) Δλ = 4λ0

What This Question Tests

The question tests the ability to apply the formulas for elastic collisions to find the final velocity and then use the de-Broglie wavelength formula to determine the change in wavelength.

Concepts Tested

Elastic collisionConservation of momentumConservation of kinetic energyDe-Broglie wavelength

Formulas Used

lambda = h/p

p = mv

v_1f = ((m_1 - m_2)/(m_1 + m_2))v_1i + ((2m_2)/(m_1 + m_2))v_2i
