A proton and an electron are accelerated by the same potential difference, let `lambda_(e)` and `lambda_(p)` denote the de-Broglie wavelengths of the electron and the proton respectively

A

B

`lambda_e lt lambda_p`

C

`lambda_egt lambda_p`

D

The relation between ` lambda_e and lambda_p` depends on the accelerating potential difference
