de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A.
B. v
C. 1/v²
D. 1/v
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #1
Myopia correction uses:
A. Cylindrical lens
B. Concave lens
C. Convex lens
D. Bifocal lens

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness): far point reduced; corrected by concave (diverging) lens to shift image to retina. Hypermetropia uses convex lens. Memory tip: 'Myopia = near-sighted ⇒ concave lens; Hyper = far-sighted ⇒ convex'. Vision defect correction frequently tested in competitive exams to assess application knowledge.

Question #2
The unit of latent heat is
A. J/kg
B. W
C. J
D. J/°C

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Latent heat per unit mass, so Q = mL, L = Q/m, unit J/kg (or cal/g). Specific latent heat of fusion/vaporization. Heat required for phase change without temperature change.
