What is the ration of Debroglie wavemength of proton and neutron if kinetic energy is same for both
What is the ration of Debroglie wavemength of proton and neutron if kinetic energy is same for both
Show Hint
For particles with the same kinetic energy, their de Broglie wavelengths are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses ($\lambda \propto 1/\sqrt{m}$). Since proton and neutron have roughly the same mass, their wavelengths are roughly equal.
