Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

For particle A $ m _1=m,q _1=q;V _1=50,V $ $ {\lambda_A}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m _1q _1V _1}} $ …(i)

For particle B $ m _2=4m,q _2=q;V _2=2500,V $ $ {\lambda_B}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m _2q _2V _2}} $ …(ii)

Dividing eqn. (i) by (ii),

$ \frac{{\lambda_A}}{{\lambda_B}}=\sqrt{\frac{m _2q _2v _2}{m _1q _1v _1}}=\sqrt{\frac{4m\times q\times 2500}{m\times q\times 50}} $ $ \frac{{\lambda_A}}{{\lambda_B}}=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2500}{50}}=14.14 $
