If alpha particle, proton and electron move with the same momentum, then their respective de-Broglie wavelengths `lambda_(alpha),lambda_(p),lambda_(e)` are related as

A

`lambda_(alpha)=lambda_(p)=lambda_(e)`

B

`lambda_(alpha)ltlambda_(p)ltlambda_(e)`

C

`lambda_(alpha)gtlambda_(p)gtlambda_(e)`

D

`lambda_(p)gtlambda_(e)gtlambda_(alpha)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Wavelength `lambda=(h)/(p)`
Since, momentum is same for all the particles.
So, wavelength will be same for all
i.e., `lambda_(alpha)=lambda_(P)=lamda_(e)`
