If the two particles of the same mass and same charge are accelerated with a potential difference of 120 V and 480 V respectively, the ratio of de Broglie's wavelengths associated with the two particles respectively is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\) \(\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}\) \(\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \sqrt{\frac{480 \text{ V}}{120 \text{ V}}} = \sqrt{4}\) \(\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = 2:1\)
