Two particles have the same charge. If they are accelerated through the same potential difference,what will be the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths?

  • A
    $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 = 1 : 1$
  • B
    $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 = m_2 : m_1$
  • C
    $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 = \sqrt{m_2} : \sqrt{m_1}$
  • D
    $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 = \sqrt{m_1} : \sqrt{m_2}$
