    If the de Broglie wavelengths associated with a proton and an \[\alpha -particle\]are equal, then the ratio of velocities of the proton and the \[\alpha -particle\] will be: [JEE Online 15-04-2018 (II)]

    A) \[1:4\]

    B) \[1:2\]

    C) \[4:1\]

    D) \[2:1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given de Broglie Wavelength
    \[{{\lambda }_{p}}={{\lambda }_{\alpha }}\]
    So, \[\frac{h}{{{m}_{p}}\times {{v}_{p}}}=\frac{h}{{{m}_{\alpha }}\times {{v}_{\alpha }}}\]
    \[\frac{{{v}_{p}}}{{{v}_{\alpha }}}=\frac{{{m}_{\alpha }}}{{{m}_{p}}}=\frac{4{{m}_{p}}}{{{m}_{p}}}\]
    Because Mass of \[\alpha -particle\] is 4 times mass of proton
    So 4:1
    Option C is correct answer
