An electron of mass m and a photon have ...

An electron of mass `m` and a photon have same energy `E`. The ratio of de - Broglie wavelengths associated with them is :

A

`1/c(E/(2m))^(1/2)`

B

`(E/(2m))^(1/2)`

C

`c(2mE)^(1/2)`

D

`1/(xc) ((2m)/E)^(1/2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For electron `lamda_e=h/(sqrt(2mE))`
for Photon `E = pc implies lamda_(Ph)=(hc)/E`
`implies lamda_e/(lamda_(Ph))=h/(sqrt(2mE))xxE/(hc) = (E/(2m))^(1//2)1/c`
