A proton and a deuteron have the same velocity, what is the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

de Broglie wavelength `lambda = ( P)/( m ) prop( 1)/( m ) ` for the same velocity v.
` (lambda_(p))/( lambda_(d)) = ( m_(d))/( m_(p)) = (2m_(p))/( m_(p)) = (2)/(1) = 2.1 `
