Q. A proton and a $Li ^{3+}$ nucleus are accelerated by the same potential. If $\lambda_{ Li }$ and $\lambda_{ P }$ denote the de Broglie wavelengths of $Li ^{3+}$ and proton respectively, then the value of $\frac{\lambda_{ Li }}{\lambda_{ p }}$ is $x \times 10^{-}$ 1. The value of $x$ is _______
(Rounded off to the nearest integer) (Mass of $Li ^{3+}=8.3$ mass of proton)

Solution:

$\lambda=\frac{ h }{\sqrt{2 mqV }}$

$\frac{\lambda_{ Li }}{\lambda_{ p }}=\sqrt{\frac{ m _{ p }( e ) V }{ m _{ Li }(3 e )( V )}} $

$m _{ Li }=8.3 m _{ p }$

$\frac{\lambda_{ Li }}{\lambda_{ p }}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8.3 \times 3}}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

$=2 \times 10^{-1}$
