The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the de Broglie wavelengths of an alpha particle, a proton, and an electron when they all have the same momentum. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 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 the Planck constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. 2. **Identify the Given Condition**: We know that the momentum of the alpha particle, proton, and electron is the same. Let's denote this common momentum as \( p \). 3. **Write the Wavelengths for Each Particle**: Using the de Broglie wavelength formula, we can express the wavelengths for each particle: - For the alpha particle: \[ \lambda_{\alpha} = \frac{h}{p} \] - For the proton: \[ \lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{p} \] - For the electron: \[ \lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{p} \] 4. **Compare the Wavelengths**: Since all three particles have the same momentum \( p \), we can see that: \[ \lambda_{\alpha} = \lambda_{p} = \lambda_{e} \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the relationship between their respective de Broglie wavelengths is: \[ \lambda_{\alpha} : \lambda_{p} : \lambda_{e} = 1 : 1 : 1 \] ### Final Answer: The de Broglie wavelengths of the alpha particle, proton, and electron are equal when they have the same momentum. ---
