An α\alpha particle and a carbon 1212 atom has same kinetic energy KK. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths (λα:λC12)\left({\lambda}_{\alpha}: {\lambda}_{C12}\right) is

Options

  1. A3:1\sqrt{3}: 1
  2. B1:31: \sqrt{3}
  3. C2:32: \sqrt{3}
  4. D3:13: 1

Correct answer

A. 3:1\sqrt{3}: 1

Step-by-step solution

De-Broglie wavelength is stated as λ=hp=h2mK\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p} = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}, where, KK is kinetic energy and mm is mass.

Here, (K)α=(K)C‐12{\left(K\right)}_{\alpha} = {\left(K\right)}_{C ‐ 12}.

Now, the ratio λαλC12=12m4m=3:1\dfrac{{\lambda}_{\alpha}}{{\lambda}_{C12}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{12m}}{\sqrt{4m}} = \sqrt{3}: 1
