Momentum \(p\) versus de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) for subatomic particles.
Momentum \(p\) versus de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) for subatomic particles.
The graph shows momentum magnitude \(p\) as a function of de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) for subatomic particles. Points \(X\) and \(Y\) represent two distinct states on the curve. An electron and a proton travel at the same nonrelativistic speed \(v\). Which point on the graph represents the electron, and what is the correct justification?
