उत्तर

The de-Broglie wavelength λ is given for mass and velocity of a particle as

`lambda=h/(mv)`

Now for an electron and proton velocity is given same.

Since mp me

We have inverse relations of λ and mass

So λp < λe

Thus electron would have greater wavelength than wavelength of proton accelerated with same velocity.
