A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr

ons and the protons have the same speed. Which one of the following correctly describes the beam that experiences the greatest amount of diffraction?
(a) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength
(c) The protons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(d) The protons, because they have the larger momentum and, hence, the smaller de Broglie wavelength
(e) Both beams experience the same amount of diffraction, because the electrons and protons have the same de Broglie wavelength.

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.
