The ratio of wavelengths of proton and deuteron accelerated by potentialVpandVdis1:2. Then, the ratio ofVptoVdwill be

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Kinetic energy gained by a charged particle accelerated by a potential V is qV

KE=qV

Using relation between momentum and kinetic energy

⇒p22 m=qV⇒p=2mqV

We know that momentum of charged particle is p=hλ.

Thus, λ=h2mqV

Now, λpλd=mdVdmpVp

⇒12=2VdVp⇒VpVd=4
