It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.

a proton and electron have the same kinetic energywhich has longer wavelength?

the electron would have the longer wavelength b/c the proton has more momentum and λ=h/p (λ is wavelength, h is planc's constant and p is momentum)


Does the de broglie wavelength of a photon become longer or shorter as its velocity increases?

The de Broglie wavelength of a photon remains constant as its velocity increases because a photon always travels at the speed of light in a vacuum. The wavelength of light is determined by its frequency according to the equation λ = c / f.


Would a slow moving proton or a fast moving golf ball have a larger wavelength?

fast moving Golf ball.


Explain why the electron does not spiral in to meet the proton in a hydrogen atom answer with use of the De Broglie hypothesis and sketch?

Using de Broglie's hypothesis and with reference to the Bohr model of a Hydrogen atom, it can be seen that the angular momentum of the electrons circling the proton is a multiple of "h" Planks constant and can be reinterpreted as an explanation using de Broglies hypothesis with a standing wave condition. Thus the electron is described by a wave and a whole number of wavelengthswhich must fit along the circumference of the electrons orbit.

What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?

A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
