Answer:
- <u><em>(b) 1:1</em></u>
Explanation:
<u></u>
<u>1. Formulae:</u>
- E = hf
- E = h.v/λ
- λ = h/(mv)
- E = (1/2)mv²
Where:
- E = kinetic energy of the particle
- λ = de-Broglie wavelength
- m = mass of the particle
- v = speed of the particle
- h = Planck constant
<u><em>2. Reasoning</em></u>
An alha particle contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons, thus its mass number is 4.
A proton has mass number 1.
Thus, the relative masses of an alpha particle and a proton are:
For the kinetic energies you find:
Thus:
From de-Broglie equation, λ = h/(mv)
