An electron (of mass m ) and a photon have the same energy E in the range of a few e V . The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron and the wavelength of the photon is ( c = speed of light in vacuum)
Options
- A1 c 2 E m 1 / 2
- Bc ( 2 m E ) 1 / 2
- C1 c E 2 m 1 / 2
- DE 2 m 1 / 2
Correct answer
C. 1 c E 2 m 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
λ d for electron = h 2 m E λ for photon = h C E Ratio = h 2 m E E h C = 1 C E 2 m
