A particle 'P' is formed due to a completely inelastic collision of particles 'x' and 'y' having de-Broglie wavelengths λx and λy respectively. If x and y were moving in opposite directions, then the de-Broglie wavelength of 'P' is?
λx+λy
λxλyλx+λy
λxλy|λx−λy|
λx−λy
Solution:
Correct option is C. λxλy|λx−λy|By momentum conservation Px−Py=Pp hλx−hλy=hλp λp=λxλy|λy−λx|.
