An electron and a proton have equal momentum. Their de Broglie wavelengths are
ALonger for the proton
BZero for the proton
CLonger for the electron
DEqual to each other
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Equal to each other
Wavelength is h/p alone, so equal momentum gives equal wavelength whatever the mass or charge.
