A proton and an electron have the same de Broglie wavelength. If K _ p and K _ e be the kinetic energies of proton and electron respectively, then choose the correct relation :
Options
- AK_p>K_e
- BK _ p < K _ e
- CK _ p = K _ e
- DK _ p = K _ e ^2
Correct answer
B. K _ p < K _ e
Step-by-step solution
De Broglie wavelength of proton & electron = aligned & = h p & p _ proton = p _ electron & KE = p ^2 2 ~m & KE _ proton < KE _ electron & [ K _ p < K _ c ] aligned
