JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 1 — Question 62

According to de-Broglie wave-particle duality, which graph correctly represents the relation between wavelength $\lambda$ and momentum $p$ ?

Answer: A

de-Broglie equation, $\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$

Hence, $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{p}$

This inverse proportionality gives a rectangular hyperbola. Only option A represents this relation.
