AI Generated Solution

To determine the ratio of the speeds of a proton and an alpha particle given that they have the same de-Broglie wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the de-Broglie wavelength formula The de-Broglie wavelength (\(\lambda\)) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \(h\) is the Planck's constant and \(p\) is the momentum of the particle. ...
