The de Broglie wavelengths of a proton and an α\alpha particle are λ\lambda and 2λ2\lambda respectively. The ratio of the velocities of proton and α\alpha particle will be :

Options

  1. A1:81: 8
  2. B1:21: 2
  3. C4:14: 1
  4. D8:18: 1

Correct answer

D. 8:18: 1

Step-by-step solution

As we know, de Broglie wavelength is given by, λ=hp=hmv\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p} = \dfrac{h}{mv}

⇒v=hmλ⇒ v = \dfrac{h}{m\lambda}

Therefore, 

vpvα=mαmp×λαλp\dfrac{{v}_{p}}{{v}_{\alpha}} = \dfrac{{m}_{\alpha}}{{m}_{p}} \times \dfrac{{\lambda}_{\alpha}}{{\lambda}_{p}}

=4×2=8= 4 \times 2 = 8
