    Which of these particles (having the same kinetic energy) has the shortest de-Broglie wave length?

    A)  Electron          

    B)  Alpha particle

    C)  Proton           

    D)  Neutron

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     de-Broglie relation is given by \[\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}\] This can also be written as \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mv}}\] So, \[\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\] Because, an alpha particle having the highest mass among the others, so alpha particle have the least wavelength.
