    The wavelength of a particle is related by the de Broglie's equation which states that

    wavelength = Planck's constant / (mass * velocity)

    Given that both particles travel at the same velocity, the electron will possess a lower wavelength due to its lower mass.

    This means that it will have a higher frequency because frequency and wavelength are inversely related to one another.
