B

`(2lambdamc)/(h)`

C

`(2lambdac)/(hm)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron and the wavelength of a photon, and then relate the energies involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the de-Broglie wavelength**: The de-Broglie wavelength (\(\lambda\)) of an electron is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(m\) is the mass of the electron, and \(v\) is its velocity. 2. **Photon wavelength**: The wavelength of a photon is also denoted by \(\lambda\) and is related to its energy \(E\) by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where \(c\) is the speed of light. 3. **Kinetic energy of the electron**: The kinetic energy (K.E.) of the electron can be expressed as: \[ K.E. = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] 4. **Relate the energies**: According to the problem, the energy of the photon is \(x\) times the kinetic energy of the electron: \[ E_{photon} = x \cdot K.E. \] Substituting the expressions for energy, we have: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda} = x \cdot \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] 5. **Substituting the velocity**: From the de-Broglie wavelength equation, we can express \(v\) in terms of \(\lambda\): \[ v = \frac{h}{m\lambda} \] Now substituting this \(v\) into the kinetic energy equation: \[ K.E. = \frac{1}{2} m \left(\frac{h}{m\lambda}\right)^2 = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2} \] 6. **Substituting K.E. back into the energy equation**: Now substituting \(K.E.\) back into the energy equation: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda} = x \cdot \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2} \] 7. **Rearranging the equation**: Multiply both sides by \(2m\lambda^2\): \[ 2m\lambda \cdot hc = x \cdot h^2 \] Now, divide both sides by \(h\): \[ 2m\lambda c = x \cdot h \] 8. **Solving for \(x\)**: Finally, rearranging gives: \[ x = \frac{2m\lambda c}{h} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \(x\) is: \[ x = \frac{2m\lambda c}{h} \]
