A proton and an electron have same kinetic energy. Which one has greater de-Broglie wavelength and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining which particle, a proton or an electron, has a greater de Broglie wavelength when they have the same kinetic energy, 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 Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. ...
