    A proton and an \[\alpha -\]particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The rs33 of de-Broglie wavelength of proton to the de-Broglie wavelength of alpha particle will be:

    A)  \[2\sqrt{2}:1\]         

    B)  \[1:2\]

    C)  \[2:1\]           

    D)  \[1:1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     de-Broglie hypothesis states that all matter has wave like nature and that the wavelength \[(\lambda )\] and momentum (p) of a particle are related by \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\] Momentum (p) is related to energy (qV) as \[p=\sqrt{2m\,(qV)}\] where m is mass : \[\therefore \] \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\,m\,(qV)}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{\alpha }}\,{{q}_{\alpha }}}{{{m}_{p}}\,{{q}_{p}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2}{1\times 1}}=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{1}\]
