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

de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A. v
B. 1/v²
C. 1/v
D. v²
Answer: Option C
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.

TIR condition: light travels from:
A. Rarer to denser
B. Any media at any angle
C. Vacuum to medium
D. Denser to rarer with i > θ_c

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Total internal reflection requires: (1) denser→rarer medium, (2) incidence angle > critical angle. Memory aid: 'TIR: n₁>n₂ AND i>θ_c'. Optics condition frequently tested in competitive exams.
