The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the energies 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 1: Write the de Broglie wavelength for the electron The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda_e \)) for an electron is given by: \[ \lambda_e = \frac{h}{m_e v_e} \] where: - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( m_e \) is the mass of the electron, - \( v_e \) is the speed of the electron. ### Step 2: Substitute the speed of the electron Given \( v_e = \frac{c}{100} \), we substitute this into the equation: \[ \lambda_e = \frac{h}{m_e \left(\frac{c}{100}\right)} = \frac{100h}{m_e c} \] ### Step 3: Write the de Broglie wavelength for the photon The problem states that the de Broglie wavelength of the photon (\( \lambda_p \)) is twice that of the electron: \[ \lambda_p = 2 \lambda_e = 2 \left(\frac{100h}{m_e c}\right) = \frac{200h}{m_e c} \] ### Step 4: Write the energy expressions The energy of the electron (\( E_e \)) can be expressed as: \[ E_e = \frac{1}{2} m_e v_e^2 \] Substituting \( v_e = \frac{c}{100} \): \[ E_e = \frac{1}{2} m_e \left(\frac{c}{100}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m_e \frac{c^2}{10000} = \frac{m_e c^2}{20000} \] The energy of the photon (\( E_p \)) is given by: \[ E_p = \frac{hc}{\lambda_p} \] Substituting \( \lambda_p = \frac{200h}{m_e c} \): \[ E_p = \frac{hc}{\frac{200h}{m_e c}} = \frac{m_e c^2}{200} \] ### Step 5: Find the ratio of energies Now we can find the ratio of the energies: \[ \frac{E_e}{E_p} = \frac{\frac{m_e c^2}{20000}}{\frac{m_e c^2}{200}} = \frac{200}{20000} = \frac{1}{100} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the relationship between the energies of the electron and the photon is: \[ E_e = \frac{1}{100} E_p \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the energies 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 1: Write the de Broglie wavelength for the electron The de Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda_e \)) for an electron is given by: \[ \lambda_e = \frac{h}{m_e v_e} \] where: ...
