A proton, when accelerated through a potential difference of V=29.6VV = 29 . 6V, has a wavelength λ\lambda associated with it. An α-\alpha \text{-}particle, in order to have the same λ\lambda, must be accelerated through a potential difference of how many volts?

Correct answer

3.7

Step-by-step solution

λP=λα{\lambda}_{\text{P}} = {\lambda}_{\alpha}

orh2mpQPVp=h2mαQαVαor\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2{m}_{p}{Q}_{P}{V}_{p}}} = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2{m}_{\alpha}{Q}_{\alpha}{V}_{\alpha}}}

∴mpQpVp=mαQαVα∴ {m}_{\text{p}}{Q}_{\text{p}}{V}_{\text{p}} = {m}_{\alpha}{Q}_{\alpha}{V}_{\alpha}

∴Vα=(mpmα)(QpQα)Vp∴ {V}_{\alpha} = \left(\dfrac{{m}_{\text{p}}}{{m}_{\alpha}}\right)\left(\dfrac{{Q}_{\text{p}}}{{Q}_{\alpha}}\right){V}_{p}

⇒Vα=(14)(12)×29.6V=3.7V⇒ {V}_{\alpha} = \left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) \times 29 . 6V = 3 . 7V
