121.

If alpha, beta and gamma rays carry same momentum, which has the longest wavelength?

  • Alpha rays

  • Beta rays

  • Gamma rays

  • None, all have same wavelength


D.

None, all have same wavelength

If the momentum of  α  and  β particles are p, if this is also equal to  h νc of the photon γ -rays,  

   λde Brogliehp

As p is the same, the wavelength will be the same. For  α and β particles, they are de Broglie waves and in the case of photons (γ - rays), it is the wavelength of the associated electromagnetic wave.
