JEE PYQ: Atomic Physics Question 16

Question 16 - 2021 (24 Feb Shift 2)

The de Broglie wavelength of a proton and $\alpha$-particle are equal. The ratio of their velocities is:

(1) 4 : 2

(2) 4 : 1

(3) 1 : 4

(4) 4 : 3

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution

From de-Broglie wavelength: $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$. Given $\lambda_p = \lambda_\alpha$. $\frac{v_p}{v_\alpha} = \frac{m_\alpha}{m_p} = \frac{4m_p}{m_p} = \frac{4}{1}$.
