The correct answer is: $\lambda_e>\lambda_p>\lambda_{{He}^{++}}$
$\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m k}}$
$\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}: \lambda_{\mathrm{p}}: \lambda_{{He}^{++}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}}}: \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{p}}}}: \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{He}^{++}}}$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}}: \frac{1}{\sqrt{1.6 \times 10^{-27}}}: \frac{1}{\sqrt{4 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-27}}}=84: 2: 1$
