The momentum of the proton is one-fourth the momentum of the electron. What is the ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron to that of a proton?
- A 1
- B \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
- C \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)
- D \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p} \Rightarrow \dfrac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p} = \dfrac{p_p}{p_e}\) Given \(p_p = \dfrac{1}{4}p_e \Rightarrow \dfrac{p_p}{p_e} = \dfrac{1}{4}\) \(\dfrac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p} = \dfrac{1}{4}\) Correct option: (4)
