$A$ proton moving with one-tenth of the velocity of light has a certain de Broglie wavelength of $\lambda$. An alpha particle having a certain kinetic energy has the same de Broglie wavelength $\lambda$. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the proton to that of the alpha particle is:

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $4: 1$
  • C
    $1: 2$
  • D
    $1: 4$

An electron of mass $m_{e}$ and a proton of mass $m_{p}$ are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron to that with the proton is

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis,the wavelength associated with a moving electron of mass $m$ is $\lambda_e$. Using the mass-energy relation and Planck's quantum theory,the wavelength associated with a photon is $\lambda_p$. If the energy $(E)$ of the electron and the photon is the same,then the relation between $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ is:
