हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Macroscopic objects in our daily life do not show wave-like properties. Reason (R): The wavelengths associated with macroscopic objects are extremely short because of their large mass. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
According to de Broglie equation \( \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \), large mass \( m \) makes \( \lambda \) too small to be detected for macroscopic objects.
