When an electron makes a transition from the state \(n\) to \((n-1)\) the change in the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron: \(\Delta\lambda=|\lambda_n-\lambda_{n-1}|\)
varies with large \(n\) as:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\)
2. \(\dfrac{1}{n^2}\)

All particles having a momentum of \(p\) are associated with wave-like behaviour and the wavelength, \(\lambda=h/p,\) where \(h\) is Planck's constant. Two particles \(A\) and \(B\) collide with each other, and come to rest. The de-Broglie wavelengths of \(A,B\) are \(\lambda_A,\lambda_B\) (before collision); while their masses are \(m_A,m_B.\) Then:
| 1. | \(\lambda_A=\lambda_B\) only if \(m_A=m_B\) |
| 2. | \(\lambda_Am_A=\lambda_Bm_B\) |
| 3. | \(\Large\frac{\lambda_A}{m_A}=\frac{\lambda_B}{m_B}\) |
| 4. | \(\lambda_A=\lambda_B,\) independent of \(m_A\) or \(m_B\) |
