An electron and photon are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength _ p to _ e is [ m _ e = . mass of electron, m _ p = mass of proton ]
Options
- A( m_ p m_ e )^ 1 2
- B( m_ e m_ p )^ 1 2
- C( m_ e m_ p )
- D( m p m )
Correct answer
B. ( m_ e m_ p )^ 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Both will have same kinetic energy k . Momentum of electron P_ e = 2 ~m _ e k Momentum of proton P_ p = 2 m_ p k array l _ p = h p_ p , _ e = h p_ e _ p _ e = P_ e P_ p = m_ e m_ p = ( m_ e m_ p )^ 1 2 array
