An α - particle and a proton are accelerated through same potential difference. Find the ratio (vα/vp) of velocities acquired by two particles.
Mass of proton = Mp = 1u
Mass of alpha particle = Ma = 4u
Charge on proton = Qp = + 1e
Charge on alpha particle =+ 2e
Now, we should use the formula,
![]()
Where P is liner momentum of body
q is charge on body, V is potential difference and m is mass of body.
Then, ![]()
