Solution
de-Broglie wavelength of a particle depends upon its mass and charge for same accelerating potential, such that
`lambdaprop1/sqrt((`
Mass and charge of a proton are mp and e respectively, and, mass and charge of a deutron are 2mp and e respectively. where, e is the charge of an electron
`lambda_p/lambda_D=sqrt((m_Dq_D)/(m_pq_p))=sqrt(((2m_p)(e))/((m_p)(e)))=sqrt2`
Thus, de-broglie wavelength associated with proton is`sqrt2` times of the de-broglie wavelength of deutron and hence it is more.
