(A) Electrons and photons both have wavelengths
(B) Electron and photon both have momentum
(C) Both electron and photon do not have momenta
(D) The electron has energy and momentum and the photon has energy only
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  2. B (A) and (B) only
  3. C (B) and (C) only
  4. D (A) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electron wavelength: \( \lambda = h/p \) Photon wavelength: \( \lambda = hc/E \) Electron momentum: \( p = mv \) Photon momentum: \( p = E/c \) The correct option is "(A) and (B) only".
