Answer

B. Momentum\text{B. Momentum}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

B. Momentum

  1. Recall the de Broglie wavelength formula.

    The de Broglie wavelength (λ\lambda) of a moving particle is given by the formula:

    λ=hp\lambda = \frac{h}{p}

    where hh is Planck's constant and pp is the momentum of the particle.

  2. Analyze the relationship.

    From the formula, it is clear that the de Broglie wavelength (λ\lambda) is inversely proportional to the momentum (pp). As momentum increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa, assuming Planck's constant is a fixed value.

    The final answer is B. Momentum\text{B. Momentum}.
