If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?

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

What are the charges for an electron and a proton?
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
How many protons and neutrons and electrons are in H?
There are 1 proton, 0 neutron and 1 electron in H1.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
Does the de broglie wavelength of a photon become longer or shorter as its velocity increases?
The de Broglie wavelength of a proton becomes shorter.
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)
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 are three subatomic paarticles in an atom?
Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.
How big is a electron compared to a proton?
A proton is bigger than electron
How big is a proton compared to a electron?
A proton is bigger than electron
How electron is converted into proton?
An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
3 A wave with which of the following frequencies would have the shortest wavelength?
So far in the electromagnetic spectrum we have gamma radiations having the shortest wavelength. In case of de Broglie's waves the matter waves of massive objects such as an iron ball moving at a faster rate would have the shortest wavelength which could not be measured even. So we declare that only light particles such as electron, proton, neutron or alpha particle, deutron moving at higher speeds would act as a wave with shortest wavelength.
Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
Is a proton larger or smaller than electron?
An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.
How do you charge an atom?
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
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.
