Let E_e and E_p represent kinetic energy of electron and photon...
Let and represent kinetic energy of electron and photon respectively. If de-Broglie wavelength of a photon is four times the de-Broglie wavelenght of an electron, the is
[ speed of electron , C = velocity of light]
[ speed of electron , C = velocity of light]
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The kinetic energy of a photon is given by:
The kinetic energy of an electron can be written in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength and velocity :
Taking the ratio of the kinetic energies:
Given that and , we substitute these values into the ratio:
