The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of proton and electron having same kinetic energy:
(Assume mp=me×1849{m}_{p} = {m}_{e} \times 1849)

Options

  1. A1:431: 43
  2. B1:301: 30
  3. C1:621: 62
  4. D2:432: 43

Correct answer

A. 1:431: 43

Step-by-step solution

The de-Broglie wavelength is given by

λ=hp=h2mK(As,p2=2mK)\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p} = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}} ( \text{As}, {p}^{2} = 2mK ).

It is given that

(K)e=(K)p( K{)}_{e} = ( K{)}_{p}

Thus, the ratio of the wavelengths of the proton and electron is

λpλe=2Kme2Kmp=memp=11849=143\dfrac{{\lambda}_{p}}{{\lambda}_{e}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2K{m}_{e}}}{\sqrt{2K{m}_{p}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{{m}_{e}}{{m}_{p}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{1849}} = \dfrac{1}{43}.
