According to question, λp=λα Using, λ=ph=mvh So, mp×vph=mα×vαh⇒vαvp=mpmα=mp4mp (∵ mass of α-particle is 4 times of mass of proton) So, vαvp=14; i.e., 4:1
If the de Broglie wavelengths associated with a proton and an α-particle are equal, then the ratio of velocities of the proton and the α-particle…
