The de-Broglie wavelength of a proton and $ \alpha $ - particle is same. The ratio of their velocities will be..............( $ \alpha $ particle is the He-nucleus, having two protonsandtwo neutrons. Thus, its mass $M_\infty = 4 m_p $ where $m_p$ is the mass of the proton.)
$ \lambda_p = \lambda_\alpha $ $ \therefore { h \over m_p v_\alpha } = { h \over m_\alpha v_\alpha } $ $ \therefore { v_p \over v_\alpha} = { m_\alpha \over m_p} $ $ m_\alpha = 4m_p $ $ { v_p \over v_\alpha } = { 4m_p \over m_p} = 4 $ $ \therefore {v_p \over v_\alpha} = 4:1 $
