A particle of mass M at rest decays into two masses 
and 
with non-zero velocities. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths of the particles, 
is
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 
of both the particles is equal,
therefore 
or
