The ratio of wavelengths of proton and deuteron accelerated by potential Vp and Vd is 1:2. Then, the ratio of Vp to Vd will be
  1. 1:1
  2. 2:1
  3. 2:1
  4. 4:1

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=qVp=2mqV

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

Thus, λ=h2mqV

Now, λpλd=mdVdmpVp

12=2VdVpVpVd=4
