Detailed Solution

Radius of a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by,

R=mVqB

 momentum =p=mV=RqB

It is given that radius of alpha particle is half of electron. We know that the charge of an alpha particle is twice of that of an electron. 

pαpe=RαqαReqe=12×2=1

Therefore, momentum remains same for both electron and alpha particle.

The de-Broglie wavelength, λ=hp

λα=pepαλe=λe
