उत्तर

De-Broglie equated the energy equation of Plank (wave nature) and Einstein (particle nature) such that,

E = hv     (Plank energy relation)

E = mc2 (Einsteins mass-energy relation)

Where,

E = energy associated with the particle

h = planks constant

v = frequency associated with the particle

m = moss of the particle

c = speed of light

After equating equations (1) and (2) we get:

hv = mc

`"h" "c"/lambda = "mc"^2     ...(because "v" = "c"/lambda)` 

`lambda = "hc"/"mc"^2 = "h"/"mc"`

If the particle is moving with velocity 'v' then equation (3) becomes,

`lambda = "h"/"mv"`

The wavelength of the particle if energy is in electron volt is,

`lambda = (12,400  Å)/"E"`

Where E should be in eV.

After substituting the value of E i.e. 4.2 eV in equation (4) we get:

`lambda = (12,400  Å)/4.2`

= 2952.38 Å

Hence, the threshold wavelength of the particle is 2952.38 Å.
