A) \[{{\left( \frac{{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{e}}} \right)}^{1/2}}\]
B) \[\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{{{m}_{p}}}\]
C) \[\frac{{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{e}}}\]
D) \[\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
de-Broglie wavelength \[(\lambda )\] is given by \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\] where h is Planck's constant, and p the momentum. Also, \[p=\sqrt{2mE}=\sqrt{2mqV}\] where E is energy, q the charge and V the potential difference. \[\therefore \] \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\] Hence, the ratio of wavelength of electron \[({{\lambda }_{e}})\]and proton \[({{\lambda }_{p}})\] is \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{e}}}{{{\lambda }_{p}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{e}}}}={{\left( \frac{{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{e}}} \right)}^{1/2}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
