An electron of mass and a photon have the same energy E. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths associated with them is { = velocity of light}
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron of mass and kinetic energy is given by:
The energy of a photon is given by , where is its wavelength.
Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is:
The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths is:
The energy of a photon is given by , where is its wavelength.
Therefore, the wavelength of the photon is:
The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelengths is:
