When you cool a gas, how does this affect the de Broglie wavelength of the gas atoms? When you cool a gas, how does this affect the de Broglie wavelength of the gas atoms? Being cooled, the gas atoms slow down so that their de Broglie wavelength will increase. Being cooled, the gas atoms slow down so that their de Broglie wavelength will decrease. The de Broglie wavelength will remain the same because it does not depend on temperature.

Answer:

The de Broglie wavelength will remain the same because it does not depend on temperature.

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength of a particle is independent of the temperature and hence the properties of emitted particle such as photoelectric effect, radioactive radiation etc. does not depend on the temperature.

Also, until unless the kinetic energy of a moving particle is not driven by the

thermal energy, the de Broglie wavelength  is independent of the temperature
