Given that kinetic energy of electron, α-particle, proton are respectively 4K, 2K and K.

de-Broglie wavelength of a particle is given by λ=hp

Where h= Planck’s constant

p = momentum of particle

We know that p=2mKE

Where m= mass of particle , KE = kinetic energy of particle.

Let λe,λα,λp are de-Broglie wavelengths of electron, α-particle, proton respectively.

λe=hpe=h2meKEe=h2me(4K)

λα=hpα=h2mαKEα=h2(4mp)2K

λp=hpp=h2mpKEp=h2mpK

λp>λα

As, me<<mp;λe>λp

 order of de-Broglie wavelengths is λe>λp>λα
