Question
Chapter 39, Problem 39.88PP
To determine
How does the wavelength of a helium ion compare to that of an electron accelerated through the same potential difference from the following options:
(a) The helium ion has a longer wavelength, because it has greater mass.
(b) The helium ion has a shorter wavelength, because it has greater mass.
(c) The wavelengths are the same, because the kinetic energy is same.
(d) The wavelengths are the same, because the electric energy is same.
