The de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated through a potential difference V is $\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}$ and the de Broglie wavelength associated with a proton accelerated through the same potential difference is $\lambda_{\mathrm{p}}$. If their corresponding masses are $m_{\mathrm{e}}$ and $m_{\mathrm{p}}$, respectively, then the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths $\left(\frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}\right)$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .

A

$$ \text { } \sqrt{\frac{m_p}{m_e}} $$

B

$$ \sqrt{\frac{m_e}{m_p}} $$

C

$$ \frac{m_p}{m_e} $$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$

Assertion A : A diode under reverse-biased condition provides very small current which is nearly independent of voltage until a critical limit at which the current increases drastically.

Reason R : Below the critical voltage limit, only majority charge carriers flow which increases drastically above critical voltage.

choose the correct answer from the options given below

A

Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

B

Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true but $\mathbf{R}$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

C

A is true but $\mathbf{R}$ is false

D

A is false but $\mathbf{R}$ is true
