A proton of mass ' m_ p ' has same energy as that of a photon of wavelength ' '. If the proton is moving at non-relativistic speed, then ratio of its de Broglie wavelength to the wavelength of photon is.
Options
- A1 c E m _ p
- B1 c 2 E m _ p
- C1 2 c E m_p
- D1 c E 2 ~m _ p
Correct answer
D. 1 c E 2 ~m _ p
Step-by-step solution
Energy of photon =E= h c Wavelength of photon = = h c E Energy of proton =E= 1 2 m_p v^2= P^2 2 m_p Linear momentum of proton =P= 2 m_p E Or de-Broglie wavelength of proton aligned = _p= & h P = h 2 m_p E Ratio _p & = h 2 m_p E E h c & = 1 c E 2 m_p aligned
