Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
According to de Broglie's equation
λ=hmv
where, λ= de Broglie wavelength
h=6.626×10−34Js=Planck's constant
m=mass of particle
mass of electron = 9.110×10−28 g
v= speed of particle
thus, for different particles, the wavelength is inversely proportional to their masses
Higher is the mass shorter will be the wavelength associated with it:
