Physics Question on de broglie hypothesis

Determine ratio of de broglie wavelength of αparticleα- particle and proton of same kinetic energy is

Answer

The Correct Answer is : 1:21:2
λ=h2mEkλ=\frac{h}{\sqrt2mE_k}
λαλp=mpmα\frac{λ_α}{λ_p}=\sqrt{\frac{m_p}{m_α}}
=14=12=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2}
