Correct answer: C

Wavelength of an electron of energy E is

λe=h2meE{\lambda _e} = {h \over {\sqrt {2{m_e}E} }}λe​=2me​E​h​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ λe2=h22meE\lambda _e^2 = {{{h^2}} \over {2{m_e}E}}λe2​=2me​Eh2​ .....(1)

Wavelength of a photon of same energy E is

λp=hcE{\lambda _p} = {{hc} \over E}λp​=Ehc​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ E=hcλpE = {{hc} \over {{\lambda _p}}}E=λp​hc​ .....(2)

Equating (1) and (2), we get

hcλp=h22meλe2{{hc} \over {{\lambda _p}}} = {{{h^2}} \over {2{m_e}\lambda _e^2}}λp​hc​=2me​λe2​h2​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ λp=2mechλe2{\lambda _p} = {{2{m_e}c} \over h}\lambda _e^2λp​=h2me​c​λe2​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ λp∝λe2{\lambda _p} \propto {\lambda _e}^2λp​∝λe​2
