A particle of mass 
at rest decays into two particles of masses 
and 
, having non-zero velocities. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particles, 
is
A
B
C
1.0
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
From law of conservation of momentum,
(in opposite directions)
Now de-Broglie wavelength is given by 
, where 
Planck's constant
Since magnitude of momentum (p) of both the particles is equal, therefore 
or
