    A proton and a-particle are having same kinetic energy. Find the ratio of their linear momentum:

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

    B)  1: 4                       

    C)  2 : 1                      

    D)         1 : 2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From the formula of linear momentum \[p=\sqrt{2m{{E}_{k}}}\] \[\therefore\] \[\frac{{{p}_{p}}}{{{p}_{\alpha}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{m}_{p}}}}{{{m}_{\alpha}}}=\frac{\sqrt{1}}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\] So,          \[{{p}_{p}}:{{p}_{\alpha }}=1:2\]
