Heya Dear ☺

Here is your answer
----------------------------
The french physicist Lewis de Broglie proposed that matter like radiation also possesses dual nature.

E = hc/λ..(Planck’s theory)

E = mc²…(Einstein’s equation)

mc² = hc/λ

∴ λ = h/mc

For a particle moving with velocity v λ = h/mv

Thus if two particles have same velocity the particle with the lesser mass will have a greater de Broglie wavelength.

Hope it helps you ☺

Answer:

If two particles are moving with the same velocity maximum de Broglie wavelength is for a particle with less mass

Explanation:

  • The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength of matter in wave nature
  • For a particle with mass (m) and moving with velocity (v), the de Broglie wavelength is given by the formula

       λ =h/p=h/mv    (equation 1)

      where Planck's constant h=6.6*10^{-34}

     p- the momentum of the particle

From the question,

the velocity of both the particles is the same

but the masses are different

de Broglie wavelength of the first particle \lambda _1=\frac{h}{m_1v}

de Broglie wavelength of the first particle \lambda _2=\frac{h}{m_2v}

since velocities are the same wavelength will depend only on the mass of the particle as they are inversely proportional to each other

if

m_1>m_2\Rightarrow \lambda _1<\lambda _2

m_2>m_1\Rightarrow \lambda _2<\lambda _1

that is maximum de Broglie wavelength is for a particle with less mass
