JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

An electron moving with speed \(v\) and a photon moving with speed \(c,\) have same D-Broglie wavelength. The ratio of kinetic energy of electron to that of photon is -

  1. A \(\frac{3 {c}}{{v}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 c}{v}\)
  3. C \(\frac{v}{2 c}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{3 c}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{v}{2 c}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{ e }=\lambda_{ Ph }\) \(\frac{ h }{ p _{ e }}=\frac{ h }{ p _{ ph }}\) \(\sqrt{2 mk _{ e }}=\frac{ E _{ ph }}{ c }\) \(2 mk _{ e }=\frac{\left( E _{ ph }\right)^{2}}{ c ^{2}}\) \(\frac{ k _{ e }}{ E _{ ph }}=\frac{ E _{ ph }}{ c ^{2}}\left(\frac{1}{2 m }\right)\)…
