Question

if planck's constant were larger than it is, a. moving bodies would have shorter wavelength b.moving bodies would have higher energies c. moving bodies would have higher momenta d. the uncertainty principle would be significant on a larger scale if planck's constant were larger than it is, a. moving bodies would have shorter wavelength b.moving bodies would have higher energies c. moving bodies would have higher momenta d. the uncertainty principle would be significant on a larger scale if planck's constant were larger than it is, a. moving bodies would have shorter wavelength b.moving bodies would have higher energies c. moving bodies would have higher momenta d. the uncertainty principle would be significant on a larger scale

Explanation / Answer

we know that wavelength, lambda = h/p , where h = Planck's constant and p = momentum,

so we see that wavelength is proportional to h, so wavelength can't be shorter.

for a constant wavelength , p should increase with h, similarly energy.

so options c and b are suitable
