If an electron and proton when in motion have the same wavelength associated with each of them, which would be moving faster and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which particle, the electron or the proton, is moving faster when they have the same wavelength, we can use the de Broglie wavelength formula. The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) is given by the equation: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where: - \( h \) is Planck's constant, ...
