An α particle and a carbon 12 atom has same kinetic energy K . The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths λ α : λ C 12 is
Options
- A3 : 1
- B1 : 3
- C2 : 3
- D3 : 1
Correct answer
A. 3 : 1
Step-by-step solution
De-Broglie wavelength is stated as λ = h p = h 2 m K , where, K is kinetic energy and m is mass. Here, K α = K C ‐ 12 . Now, the ratio λ α λ C 12 = 12 m 4 m = 3 : 1
