Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

An $\alpha$ -particle, a proton and an electron have the same kinetic energy. Which one of the following is correct in case of their de-Broglie wavelength:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Same kinetic energy: $\lambda = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}} \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$ .
$m_\alpha > m_p > m_e \Rightarrow \lambda_\alpha < \lambda_p < \lambda_e$
So the answer is (d).
