A proton and an α -particle are accelerated from rest by 2 V and 4 V potentials, respectively. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelength is :
Options
- A8   :   1
- B2   :   1
- C4   :   1
- D16   :   1
Correct answer
C. 4   :   1
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the proton is given by λ p = h 2 m p q p V       . . . 1 The formula to calculate the de Broglie wavelength of the alpha particle is given by λ α = h 2 m α q α V '       . . . 2 Divide equation (1) by equation (2) and simplify to obtain the required ratio. λ p λ α = m α m p × q α V ' q p V       . . . 3 Substitute the values of the known parameters into eq
