Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda= \frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{mv}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{m} \lambda}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{v}_\alpha}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_\alpha}{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}} \times \frac{\lambda_\alpha}{\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}}\)

\(=4 \times 2=8\)
