Proton ( P ) and electron ( e ) will have same de-Broglie wavelength when the ratio of their momentum is (assume, m p = 1849 m e )
Options
- A1   :   1
- B1   :   1849
- C1   :   43
- D43   :   1
Correct answer
A. 1   :   1
Step-by-step solution
The De Broglie wavelength is λ = h mv The momentum is given by p = m v The momentum of proton is p p = m p v p The momentum of electron is p ' = m e v e Since h is the Planck's constant and it is given that both wavelengths are same, i.e. λ p = λ e , so p p = p ' .
