    An electron and a proton are processing same amount of kinetic energies. The de-Broglie wavelength is greater for:

    A)  electron          

    B)  neutron

    C)  both a and b    

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to De-Broglie hypothesis all matter has a wave like nature and wavelength \[(\lambda )\]and momentum (p) or particle are related by: \[\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\] Where h is planck's constant Also,         \[p=m\upsilon \] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =\frac{h}{m\upsilon }\Rightarrow 1\propto \frac{1}{m}\] Mass of electron is \[9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}kg\]and of proton is \[1.6\times {{10}^{-27}}kg,\] hence mass of electron is less than that of proton, 50 electron will have greater wavelength.
