If electron, deutron, \(\alpha\)-particle and proton have same kinetic energy, which one has the largest deBroglie wavelength.

  1. A proton
  2. B deutron
  3. C electron
  4. D \(\alpha\)-particle
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) electron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}\) Since \(K\) is same for all particles, \(\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\). \(m_{electron} < m_{proton} < m_{deutron} < m_{\alpha-particle}\) Smallest mass (\(m_{electron}\)) gives largest \(\lambda\). electron
