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

An electron with speed \(v\) and a photon with speed \(c\) have the same \(de-Broglie\) wavelength. If the kinetic energy and momentum of electron are \(E_{ e }\) and \(pe _{ e }\) and that of photon are \(E _{ ph }\) and \(p _{ ph }\) respectively. Which of the following is correct?

  1. A \(\frac{E_{e}}{E_{p h}}=\frac{2 c}{v}\)
  2. B \(\frac{E_{e}}{E_{p h}}=\frac{v}{2 c}\)
  3. C \(\frac{p_{e}}{p_{p h}}=\frac{2 c}{v}\)
  4. D \(\frac{ p _{ e }}{ p _{ ph }}=\frac{ v }{2 c }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{E_{e}}{E_{p h}}=\frac{v}{2 c}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{ e }=\lambda_{\text {photon }}\) \(\frac{ h }{ mv }=\frac{ h }{ P _{\text {photon}}} \Rightarrow P _{\text {photon }}= mv\)…
