    The ratio of momenta of an electron and an \[\alpha \]-particle which are accelerated from rest by a potential difference of 100 V is

    A)  \[1\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{2{{m}_{e}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]

    D)  \[\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{2{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Momentum, \[p=mv\] and      \[F=\sqrt{\frac{2QV}{m}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[p=\sqrt{2QmV}\] \[p\propto \sqrt{Qm}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{p}_{e}}}{{{p}_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{e{{m}_{e}}}{2e{{m}_{\alpha }}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{2{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]
