Correct answer
B. (
Step-by-step solution
Here's the detailed matching:
- A. Have the same speed (List-II: r) For the same speed, the de Broglie wavelength (\lambda) is inversely proportional to mass (mass of a proton is about half that of an a-particle (which has twice the mass of a proton), the ratio of de Broglie wavelengths will be (\lambda_p: \lambda_2: 1).
- B. Have the same potential difference (List-II: s)
For the same potential difference, the kinetic energy gained by the particles is proportional to their charge. Since the a-particle has twice the charge of a proton, the energy will differ, leading to a wavelength ratio of (2 : 1).
- C. Have the same kinetic energy (List-II: p)
For the same kinetic energy, the de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass (ratio will be (\lambda_p: \lambda_the same momentum, the de Broglie wavelength is the same for both particles ((\lambda=\frac{h}{p}), so the ratio will be .
Thus, the correct match is r s p q.
