The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the de Broglie wavelength, momentum, and kinetic energy of the two particles A1 and A2. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding de Broglie Wavelength**: 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. 2. **Setting up the relationship for both particles**: Since both particles A1 and A2 have the same de Broglie wavelength, we can write: \[ \lambda_1 = \lambda_2 \] This implies: \[ \frac{h}{p_1} = \frac{h}{p_2} \] Hence, we can conclude: \[ p_1 = p_2 \] 3. **Relating momentum to kinetic energy**: The momentum \(p\) of a particle is related to its kinetic energy \(K\) by the equation: \[ p = \sqrt{2mK} \] For particles A1 and A2, we can write: \[ p_1 = \sqrt{2m_1K_1} \] \[ p_2 = \sqrt{2m_2K_2} \] 4. **Equating the momenta**: Since \(p_1 = p_2\), we can set the two equations equal to each other: \[ \sqrt{2m_1K_1} = \sqrt{2m_2K_2} \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ 2m_1K_1 = 2m_2K_2 \] Simplifying this, we have: \[ m_1K_1 = m_2K_2 \] 5. **Analyzing the relationship**: Given that \(m_1 > m_2\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ \frac{K_1}{K_2} = \frac{m_2}{m_1} \] Since \(m_2 < m_1\), it follows that: \[ K_1 < K_2 \] This means that the kinetic energy of particle A1 is less than that of particle A2. ### Conclusion: 1. The momenta of both particles are equal: \(p_1 = p_2\). 2. The kinetic energy of particle A1 is less than that of particle A2: \(K_1 < K_2\). ### Final Answer: - The correct option is that the momenta are the same, and the energy of A1 is less than the energy of A2.
