$A$ proton,an electron,and an alpha particle have the same kinetic energies. Their de-Broglie wavelengths will be compared as:

  • A
    $\lambda_{e} > \lambda_{p} > \lambda_{\alpha}$
  • B
    $\lambda_{\alpha} < \lambda_{p} < \lambda_{e}$
  • C
    $\lambda_{p} < \lambda_{e} < \lambda_{\alpha}$
  • D
    $\lambda_{p} > \lambda_{e} > \lambda_{\alpha}$
