The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the de Broglie wavelengths of a photon and an electron, given that the de Broglie wavelength of a photon is twice that of an electron, and the speed of the electron is \( v_e = \frac{c}{100} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the de Broglie Wavelength:** The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( p \) is the momentum of the particle. 2. **Calculate the de Broglie Wavelength of the Electron:** The momentum of the electron (\( p_e \)) can be expressed as: \[ p_e = m_e v_e \] where \( m_e \) is the mass of the electron and \( v_e \) is its speed. Given \( v_e = \frac{c}{100} \), we have: \[ p_e = m_e \left(\frac{c}{100}\right) \] Thus, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron (\( \lambda_e \)) is: \[ \lambda_e = \frac{h}{p_e} = \frac{h}{m_e \left(\frac{c}{100}\right)} = \frac{100h}{m_e c} \] 3. **Relate the Wavelength of the Photon:** According to the problem, the de Broglie wavelength of the photon (\( \lambda_p \)) is twice that of the electron: \[ \lambda_p = 2 \lambda_e = 2 \left(\frac{100h}{m_e c}\right) = \frac{200h}{m_e c} \] 4. **Calculate the Energy of the Photon and Electron:** The energy of the photon (\( E_p \)) is given by: \[ E_p = \frac{hc}{\lambda_p} \] Substituting for \( \lambda_p \): \[ E_p = \frac{hc}{\frac{200h}{m_e c}} = \frac{m_e c^2}{200} \] The kinetic energy of the electron (\( E_e \)) is given by: \[ E_e = \frac{1}{2} m_e v_e^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_e \left(\frac{c}{100}\right)^2 = \frac{m_e c^2}{20000} \] 5. **Find the Ratio of Energies:** Now, we can find the ratio of the energies: \[ \frac{E_e}{E_p} = \frac{\frac{m_e c^2}{20000}}{\frac{m_e c^2}{200}} = \frac{200}{20000} = \frac{1}{100} \] 6. **Final Result:** Therefore, the ratio of the energy of the electron to the energy of the photon is: \[ \frac{E_e}{E_p} = \frac{1}{100} \] ### Conclusion: The answer to the question is that the ratio of the energy of the electron to the energy of the photon is \( \frac{1}{100} \).
