A
Electron
B
Proton
C
Deuteron
D
-particle
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE
The de-Broglie wavelength of a charged particle,
where, 
is the mass and 
is the kinetic energy of the charged particle.
As all the four given charged particles have same kinetic energy.
As 
Hence, 
-particle has the shortest de-Broglie wavelength.
