The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity...
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity \frac{c}{3} \left(c=3 \times10^8 \mathrm{ m}/ \mathrm{s}\right)is equal to the wavelength of photon. The ratio of the kinetic energies of electron and photon is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The de-Broglie wavelength,
Here, \lambda_p=\frac{h}{m_p c}\quad \lambda_e=\lambda_p\quad \frac{h}{m_e \frac{c}{3}}=\frac{h}{m_p c}\Rightarrow \quad \frac{m_e}{m_p}=3=\frac{K_e}{K_p}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} m_e v_e^2}{\frac{1}{2} m_p v_p^2}=\frac{1}{3} \left(\because \frac{m_e}{m_p}=3, \frac{c}{3}\right. and \left.v_p=c\right)
