An α - particle and a proton are accelerated from rest by the same potential, then the ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths is ________

  1. A 22:1
  2. B 1:22
  3. C 1:2
  4. D 2:1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1:22

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Recall the formula of de-Broglie wavelength, λ=hp, where h & p are Planck's constant and momentum of a particle, here, mα=4mp & p=2mqV where V is the potential applied and q is charged in particle, so the ration fo de-Broglie wavelength,…
