A particle of mass M at rest decays into two particles of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ having non-zero velocities. The ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the particles, $λ_{1} / λ_{2}$ , is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Decay at rest: the two momenta are equal and opposite, so $\frac{λ _{1}}{λ _{2}} = \frac{h / p _{1}}{h / p _{2}} = 1$ .
