A particle moves in a closed orbit around the origin, due to a force which is directed towards the origin. The de Broglie wavelength of the particle varies cyclically between two values λ1 and λ2 with λ1 > λ2. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The particle could be moving in a circular orbit with origin as centre.
  2. The particle could be moving in an elliptic orbit with origin as its focus.
  3. When the de Broglie wavelength is l1, the particle is nearer the origin than when its value is l2.
  4. Both (a) and (c)

Answer

(B) The particle could be moving in an elliptic orbit with origin as its focus.
