    An electron and proton have the same de-Broglie wavelength. Then the kinetic energy of the electron is [Kerala PMT 2004]

    A)            Zero

    B)            Infinity

    C)            Equal to the kinetic energy of the proton

    D)            Greater than the kinetic energy of the proton

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\Rightarrow E\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\]             \[(\lambda =\]constant)                    \[\because \,\,\,{{m}_{e}}<{{m}_{p}}\] so \[{{E}_{e}}>{{E}_{p}}\]
