A proton and alpha particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of proton to that of alpha will be (mass of alpha particle is four times mass of proton.)
Options
- A1: 2
- B2 2 : 1
- C1: 1
- D2: 1
Correct answer
B. 2 2 : 1
Step-by-step solution
De-Broglie wavelength is given by = h 2 mqV If ₁ and ₂ are de-Broglie wavelengths of proton and alpha particle then ₁ ₂ = m ₂ q ₂ ~m ₁ q ₁ = 4 2 = 8 =2 2
