    The ratio of de Broglie wavelength of a proton and an \[\alpha \] particle accelerated through the same potential difference is

    A) \[3\sqrt{2}\]                  

    B) \[2\sqrt{2}\]

    C) \[2\sqrt{3}\]      

    D) \[2\sqrt{5}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]: de Broglie wavelength associated with charged particle is given by, or\[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}},\frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{2{{m}_{\alpha }}{{q}_{\alpha }}V}{2{{m}_{p}}{{q}_{p}}V}}\]where subscripts, p and \[\alpha \] represent proton and \[\alpha \] particle respectively. As\[\frac{{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}}=\frac{1}{4}\]and\[\frac{{{q}_{\alpha }}}{{{q}_{p}}}=\frac{2}{1}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{4\times 2}=2\sqrt{2}\]
