    A proton and an alpha particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the wavelengths associated with proton and alpha particle respectively is

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

    B) \[2:1\]

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

    D) \[4:1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mqV}}\] or            \[\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{mq}}\] or            \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{\alpha }}{{q}_{\alpha }}}{{{m}_{p}}{{q}_{p}}}}\] or            \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{p}}}{{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{4{{m}_{p}}\times 2{{q}_{p}}}{{{m}_{p}}\times {{q}_{p}}}}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}\] or            \[{{\lambda }_{p}}:{{\lambda }_{\alpha }}=2\sqrt{2}:1\]
