An electron of mass m e and a proton of mass m P are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron to that with the proton is
Options
- Am P m e
- B1
- Cm p m e
- Dm e m p
Correct answer
C. m p m e
Step-by-step solution
KE = e Δ V λ e = h 2   m e ( e Δ V ) λ p = h 2   m p ( e Δ V ) ⇒    λ e λ p = m p m e
