A particle moves three times as fast as an electron. The ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the particle to that of the electron is \( 1.813 \times 10^{-4} \). The mass of the particle is :

  1. A \( 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg} \)
  2. B \( 1.675 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg} \)
  3. C \( 1.675 \times 10^{-29} \text{ kg} \)
  4. D \( 1.675 \times 10^{-30} \text{ kg} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_e} = \frac{m_e v_e}{m_p v_p} \) \( 1.813 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{m_e v_e}{m_p (3v_e)} = \frac{m_e}{3m_p} \) \( m_p = \frac{m_e}{3 \times (1.813 \times 10^{-4})} \) \( m_p = \frac{9.109 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}}{3 \times 1.813 \times 10^{-4}} \)…
