Assertion $(A):$ $A$ particle of mass $M$ at rest decays into two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$,having non-zero velocities. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths is unity.
Reason $(R):$ Here,we cannot apply the conservation of linear momentum.

$A$ proton and an alpha particle are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength of the proton to that of the alpha particle will be (mass of alpha particle is four times the mass of the proton,and the charge of the alpha particle is twice the charge of the proton).

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is the same as that of a $50 \ keV$ $X$-ray photon. The ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the electron is (the energy equivalent of electron mass is $0.5 \ MeV$ ).

$A$ photon and an electron are given the same energy $(10^{-20} \ J)$. If the wavelengths associated with the photon and the electron are $\lambda_{Ph}$ and $\lambda_{el}$ respectively,then which of the following statements is correct?
