An electron with speed v and a photon with speed c have the same de-Broglie wavelength. If the kinetic energy and momentum of electron are Ee and pe and that of photon are Eph and pph respectively. Which of the following is correct?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use equality of de-Broglie wavelengths
For any particle,
Given that the electron and photon have the same de-Broglie wavelength, so,
Hence,
So options C and D are incorrect.
- Kinetic energy of the electron
For an electron moving with speed (non-relativistic form intended here),
Also its momentum is
So,
- Energy of the photon
For a photon,
- Compare energies
Since ,
But , so
Thus the correct option is:
So option B is correct.
- Check all options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌ since
- D: ❌ since
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
