Answer:

The De Broglie wavelength decreases when the momentum increases

Explanation:

The De Broglie wavelength of a particle (or any object) is given by

[tex]\lambda=\frac{h}{p}[/tex]

where

h is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the object

As we can see, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the object: therefore we can say that, if the momentum increases, the De Broglie wavelength will decrease.
