The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity of \(1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) is equal to that of a photon. The ratio of kinetic energy of the electron to that of the photon \(\left(c=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ratio of kinetic energy of the electron to that of the photon. \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{v}{2 c} \\ & =\frac{1.5 \times 10^8}{2 \times 3 \times 10^8}=\frac{1}{4}\end{aligned}\)
