What should be the order of arrangement of de-Broglie wavelength of electron λ e , an α -particle λ α and proton λ p given that all have the same kinetic energy ?
Options
- Aλ e = λ p = λ α
- Bλ e < λ p < λ α
- Cλ e > λ p > λ α
- Dλ e = λ p > λ α
Correct answer
C. λ e > λ p > λ α
Step-by-step solution
λ = h p = h 2 m E ∝ 1 m m α > m p > m e so λ e > λ p > λ α
