The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths associated with protons accelerated through a potential of 128 V and alpha particles accelerated through a potential of 64 V will be |
1 : 2 1 : 4 2 : 1 4 : 1 |
2 : 1 |
$\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}$ $\frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha q_\alpha V_\alpha}{m_p q_p V_p}}$ $m_\alpha = 4m_p,\quad q_\alpha = 2e,\quad q_p = e$ $\frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{(4m_p)(2e)(64)}{(m_p)(e)(128)}}$ $= \sqrt{\frac{512\, m_p e}{128\, m_p e}}$ $= \sqrt{4}$ $\frac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha} = 2$ / 1 The required ratio is 2:1 |
