An electron, an $\alpha$ particle, a proton and a deutron have the same kinetic energy. Which of these particles has the shortest De Broglie wavelength. |
Electron Proton $\alpha$ Particle Deutron |
$\alpha$ Particle |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\alpha$ Particle Using De-Broglie, $λ=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mk}}$ $⇒λ∝\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$ and, the $\alpha$-Particle has greatest mass ⇒ Shortest wavelength. |
