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

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

  1. A \({\left( {\frac{E}{{2m}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
  2. B \(\;C{\left( {2mE} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
  3. C \(\;\frac{1}{C}{\left( {\frac{{2m}}{E}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
  4. D \(\;\frac{1}{C}{\left( {\frac{E}{{2m}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\;\frac{1}{C}{\left( {\frac{E}{{2m}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For electron of energy \(E\) de-Broglie wavelength, \(\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}\) For photon of energy, \(E=h v=\frac{h c}{\lambda_{p}}\) \({\Rightarrow \lambda_{p}=\frac{h c}{E}}\)…
