★Since, de Broglie wavelength is given by

\huge\tt \red{\lambda=\frac{h} {p} }

Here, p is momentum of particle

Also know that

★Kinetic Energy :

\huge\tt \orange{K=\frac{p^2} {2m}}

If we solve,

\large\tt{\lambda=\frac{h} {\sqrt{2mK} } }

Here, we can clearly see that de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to square root of their masses.

Therefore, the mass of proton  \large\tt{^1_1H}

H is 1836 times more than an electron and mass of alpha particle \large\tt{^4_2H}

H four times that of proton.

Therefore alpha particles have higher wavelength.
