The de Broglie wavelengths of a proton and an α particle are λ and 2 λ respectively. The ratio of the velocities of proton and α particle will be :
Options
- A1 : 8
- B1 : 2
- C4 : 1
- D8 : 1
Correct answer
D. 8 : 1
Step-by-step solution
As we know, de Broglie wavelength is given by, λ = h p = h m v ⇒ v = h m λ Therefore, v p v α = m α m p × λ α λ p = 4 × 2 = 8
