The correct answer is: λ3mM
When electron or any charged particle is accelerated through potential difference V, then kinetic energy gained is given by E=eV ...... (i)
E=12mv02=p22m=h22m.λ2 ...... (ii)
  eV=h22m.λ2 λ=h2meV ....... (iii)
When proton of mas M is accelerated through a potential difference of 9V, then the de - Broglie wavelength obtained is
λ=h2M e9V=h3×2MeV×mm
 λ=λ3.mM
