Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which has greater total energy between a photon and an electron that have the same de Broglie wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand de Broglie Wavelength The de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \(h\) is Planck's constant and \(p\) is the momentum of the particle. ...
