If m is the mass of an electron and c the speed of light, the ratio of the wavelength of a photon of energy E to that of the electron of the same energy is

A

`csqrt((2m)/E)`

B

`sqrt((2m)/E)`

C

`sqrt((2m)/(cE)`

D

`sqrt((m)/(E)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Energy of photon `E= hupsilon=(hc)/(lamda_(ph))`
where `lamda_(ph)` is the wavelength of photon
`lamda_(ph)=(hc)/E`
Wavelength of the electron `lamda_(e)=h/(sqrt(2mE)) `
`:. lamda_(ph)/(lamda_e) = (hc)/E xx (sqrt(2mE))/(h) = c sqrt((2m)/E)`
