If an electron and a photon propagate in the form of waves having the same wavelength , it implies that they have the same

A

momentum

B

energy

C

velocity

D

angular momentum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

de - Broglie wavelength is given by
`lambda = (h)/(p)`
where `h` is Planck's constant ,`p` is momentum and `lambda` is wavelength.
Since electron and proton have the same wavelength the momentum of both will be same.
