An electron with speed v and a photon with speed c have the same de-Broglie wavelength. If the kinetic energy and momentum of electron are E e and P e and that of photon are E p h and P p h respectively. Which of the following is correct?
Options
- AE e E p h = 2 c v
- BE e E p h = v 2 c
- Cp e p p h = 2 c v
- Dp e p p h = v 2 c
Correct answer
B. E e E p h = v 2 c
Step-by-step solution
We have, λ p = h p p and λ e = h p e Given here, λ e = λ p , then p p = p e Ratio of their energy is E ph E e = h c λ P p e 2 2 m = 2 m c p e = 2 m c m v = 2 c v
