Concept explainers
The proton has shorter wavelength, if electron and proton have same kinetic energy.
Answer to Problem 43P
Solution:
When electron and proton have same kinetic energy, the wavelength of proton is shorter.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Kinetic Energy of the electron and proton is equal.
Formula Used:
Calculation:
By using the formula
The wavelength can be given as
So,
If we take the ratio of wavelength of electron and proton with same kinetic energy, we will find that
By the above relation, as the
Thus we have derived that for same kinetic energy; the wavelength of proton is shorter.
