An electron and a proton are moving with same speed . Which will have more wavelength ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which particle, an electron or a proton, has a greater wavelength when both are moving at the same speed, we can use the De Broglie wavelength formula. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the De Broglie Wavelength Formula The De Broglie wavelength (λ) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \(h\) is Planck's constant and \(p\) is the momentum of the particle. ...
