Question
A proton and an a particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. Which one of the two has (i) greater de-Broglie wavelength, and (ii) less kinetic energy? Justify your answer.
$\because(\text{mq}) \text{is more for }\alpha - \text{particle} , \text{we have}$
$\lambda_{proton} > \lambda_{\propto} - particle$
(Also, $\frac{\lambda_{proton}}{\lambda_{\alpha}} =2\sqrt{2}(\text{ or }\sqrt{8} ) $
$\because $q is less for proton, we have
$(\text{K.}\text{E} )_{proton} < (\text{K.}\text{E} )_{\alpha - particle}$
$\text{Also},\frac{(\text{K.E.})\propto}{(\text{K.E.})_{\rho}} = 2 ) $.
