Question:

A proton and $\alpha$-particle have same kinetic energy. The de-Broglie wavelength ratio $\frac{\lambda_{p}}{\lambda_\alpha}$ is equal to:

Options:

$\frac{m_\alpha}{m_{p}}$

$m_\alpha \times m_{p}$

$\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{m_{p}}{m_\alpha}}$

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}}$
