The wavelength λ_e of an electron and λ_P of a photon of same...
The wavelength of an electron and of a photon of same energy E are related as
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
For a photon of energy , the wavelength is given by:
For an electron of kinetic energy , the de Broglie wavelength is given by:
Squaring both sides, we get:
Substituting the value of in the expression for :
Since , , and are constants, we obtain:
