Concept:

According to the De-Broglie hypothesis, particles behave as waves & these are called matter waves. The wavelength of the particle is called De-Broglie wavelength and it is given as

Where m = mass of the charged particle and KE = Kinetic energy

Calculation:

A deuteron and α-particle have the same kinetic energy then KE1 = KE2

Where; mp is the mass of a proton.

Note:

1). Mass of deuteron is 2 times of proton mass and the Charge of the deuteron is equal to the charge of the proton.

2). Mass of α-particle is 4 times of proton mass and the Charge of the α-particle is equal to the 2 times of charge of the proton.
