Dual Nature Of Light Question 419

Question: The kinetic energy of electron and proton is $ {{10}^{-32}}J $ . Then the relation between their de-Broglie wavelengths is

Options:

A) $ {\lambda_{p}}<{\lambda_{e}} $

B) $ {\lambda_{p}}>{\lambda_{e}} $

C) $ {\lambda_{p}}={\lambda_{e}} $

D) $ {\lambda_{p}}=2{\lambda_{e}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] By using $ \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} $
$ E={{10}^{-32}}J=Constante $ for both particles. Hence $ \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} $ Since $ m_{p}>m_{e} $ so $ {\lambda_{p}}<{\lambda_{e}}. $
