The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the wavelengths of a particle and a photon. We will use the de Broglie wavelength formula for the particle and the formula for the wavelength of a photon. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the wavelength of the particle (λ₁)**: The de Broglie wavelength (λ) of a particle is given by the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} \] where: - \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) (Planck's constant) - \( m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the particle) - \( v = 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \) (velocity of the particle) Plugging in the values: \[ \lambda_1 = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{(9.1 \times 10^{-31})(10^6)} \] 2. **Calculate the wavelength of the photon (λ₂)**: The wavelength of a photon is given by: \[ \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \] where: - \( p = 10^{-27} \, \text{kg m/s} \) (momentum of the photon) Plugging in the values: \[ \lambda_2 = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{10^{-27}} \] 3. **Find the ratio of the wavelengths (λ₂/λ₁)**: To find how many times the wavelength of the photon is compared to the wavelength of the particle, we calculate: \[ \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{\frac{h}{p}}{\frac{h}{mv}} = \frac{mv}{p} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{(9.1 \times 10^{-31})(10^6)}{10^{-27}} \] 4. **Simplify the expression**: \[ \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{9.1 \times 10^{-25}}{10^{-27}} = 9.1 \times 10^{2} = 910 \] ### Final Answer: The wavelength of the photon is **910 times** the wavelength of the particle.
