    A proton and an a-particle are accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V. The ratio of the wavelength associated with the proton to that associated with an a-particle is                                            [DCE 2002; DPMT 2003]

    A)            \[\sqrt{2}:1\]                       

    B)            \[2:1\]

    C)            \[2\sqrt{2}:1\]                     

    D)            \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}:1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mQV}}\Rightarrow \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{mQ}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{\alpha }}{{Q}_{\alpha }}}{{{m}_{p}}{{Q}_{p}}}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{4{{m}_{p}}\times 2{{Q}_{p}}}{{{m}_{p}}\times {{Q}_{p}}}}=2\sqrt{2}\]
