A particle is traveling 4 times as fast as an electron. Assuming the ratio of de- Broglie wavelength of a particle to that of electron is 2 : 1, the mass of the particle is :
A particle is traveling 4 times as fast as an electron. Assuming the ratio of de- Broglie wavelength of a particle to that of electron is 2 : 1, the mass of the particle is :
Option 1 -
1/16 times the mass of e⁻
Option 2 -
8 times the mass of e⁻
Option 3 -
1/8 times the mass of e⁻
Option 4 -
16 times the mass of e⁻

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:λ? /λ? = (m? v? ) / (m? v? ) ⇒ m? = m? (v? /v? ) (λ? /λ? ) = m? (1/4) (1/2) = (1/8)m?
