If the de Broglie wavelengths for a proton and an \(\alpha\)-particle are equal, then the ratio of their velocities respectively will be :

  1. A \(4: 1\)
  2. B \(2: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 2\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_p = \lambda_\alpha\) \(\frac{h}{m_p v_p} = \frac{h}{m_\alpha v_\alpha}\) \(m_p v_p = m_\alpha v_\alpha\) \(\frac{v_p}{v_\alpha} = \frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}\) \(\frac{v_p}{v_\alpha} = \frac{4}{1}\)
