JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

A proton moving with one tenth of velocity of light has a certain de Broglie wavelength of \(\lambda\). An alpha particle having certain kinetic energy has the same de-Brogle wavelength \(\lambda\). The ratio of kinetic energy of proton and that of alpha particle is:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K E=\frac{p^2}{2 m}=\frac{h^2}{2 m \lambda^2}\) \(\frac{K E_p}{K E_\alpha}=\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4: 1\)
