pspm2 c10

This document contains past year questions from the PSPM II (Physics Secondary School Proficiency Module II) exam in Malaysia related to wave properties of particles and de Broglie wavelength. The questions cover de Broglie's principle, calculating de Broglie wavelength for electrons accelerated through a potential difference, the relationship between momentum, wavelength and kinetic energy, verification of the wave nature of electrons, and applying the concept to larger objects like athletes.
