Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}<\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{e}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

De Broglie wavelength of proton & electron \(=\lambda\)

\(\because \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{p}_{\text {proton }}=\mathrm{p}_{\text {electron }}\)

\(\because \mathrm{KE}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{KE}_{\text {proton }}<\mathrm{KE}_{\text {electron }}\)

\({\left[\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}<\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{e}}\right]}\)
