The de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron and a proton were calculated by accelerating them through same potential of \(100\, V\). What should nearly be the ratio of their wavelengths ? \(\left( m _{ P }=1.00727\, u , m _{ e }=0.00055 \,u \right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(43: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda=\frac{ h }{ mv }=\frac{ h }{\sqrt{2 mK }}=\frac{ h }{\sqrt{2 mqV }}\)

\(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{ m _{2}}{ m _{1}}}\)

\(\frac{\lambda_{ e }}{\lambda_{ P }}=\sqrt{\frac{ m _{ P }}{ m _{ e }}}=\sqrt{1831.4}=42.79\)
