An particle and a carbon 12 atom has same kinetic energy K. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelength is :
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
For particles with the same kinetic energy , the momentum is . Since de-Broglie wavelength , we have . The mass of an particle is 4 u and carbon-12 is 12 u. Therefore, , giving the ratio .
