  • A
    $\left[\frac{E}{2m}\right]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{c}\left[\frac{E}{2m}\right]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $c(2mE)^{1/2}$
  • D

The de Broglie wavelength associated with a proton under the influence of an electric potential of $100 \ V$ is

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis,the wavelength associated with a moving electron of mass $m$ is $\lambda_e$. Using the mass-energy relation and Planck's quantum theory,the wavelength associated with a photon is $\lambda_p$. If the energy $(E)$ of the electron and the photon is the same,then the relation between $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ is:
