Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\lambda_\alpha<\lambda_p<\lambda_c\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{\mathrm{DB}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mk}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{DB}} \alpha \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{m}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{a}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{c}}\)
