What is the ratio of mass of an electron to the mass of a proton ?

A

`1 : 2`

B

`1 : 1`

C

`1 : 1837`

D

`1 : 3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

( c) Electron `(1)/(1837)` time lighter than proton so their mass ratio will be `1 : 1837`
ratio `= (1.67 xx 10^-27)/(9.1 xx 10^-31) = 1837`.
