Photon and electron are given same energy `(10^(-20) J)`. Wavelength associated with photon and electron are `lambda_(ph)` and `lambda_(el)` then correct statement will be

A

`lamda_(p) gt lamda_(e)`

B

`lamda_(p) lt lamda_(e)`

C

`lamda_(p)=lamda_(e)`

D

`(lamda_(e))/(lamda_(p))=c`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Wavelength of photon will be greater than that of electron because mass of photon is less than that of electron `implies lamda_(p) gt lamda_(e)`.
