A particle of mass 4M at rest disintegrates into two particles of mass M and 3M respectively having non zero velocities. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of particle of mass M to that of mass 3M will be :
Solution
$\lambda = {h \over p}$<br><br>both the particles will move with momentum same in magnitude & opposite in direction.<br><br>So De-Broglie wavelength of both will be same i.e. ratio 1 : 1
