An electron of mass $m_{e}$ and a proton of mass $m_{p}$ are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron to that with the proton is

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{m_{p}}{m_{e}}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $\frac{m_{e}}{m_{p}}$

The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of $10^{-15} \;m$ or less. This structure was first probed in early $1970s$ using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford,$USA$. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams. (Rest mass energy of electron $= 0.511 \;MeV$.)

After absorbing a slowly moving neutron of mass $m_N$ (momentum $\approx 0$),a nucleus of mass $M$ breaks into two nuclei of masses $m_1$ and $3m_1$ $(4m_1 = M + m_N)$,respectively. If the de Broglie wavelength of the nucleus with mass $m_1$ is $\lambda$,then the de Broglie wavelength of the other nucleus will be:
