Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4:1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda=\frac{ h }{ mv }\)

\(\lambda_{ P }=\lambda_{\alpha}\)

\(m _{ P } v _{ P }= m _{\alpha} v _{\alpha}\)

\(m _{ P } v _{ P }=4 m _{ p } v _{\alpha} \quad\left( m _{\alpha}=4 m _{ P }\right)\)

\(\frac{ v _{ P }}{ v _{\alpha}}=4\)
