The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is the same as that of a \(50 \mathrm{keV}\) X-ray photon. The ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the electron is (the energy equivalent of electron mass is \(0.5 \mathrm{MeV}\) )

  1. A 01:50
  2. B 01:20
  3. C 20: 1
  4. D 50: 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 20: 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}\) The kinetic energy of the electron \[ K_{\text {electron }}=\frac{1}{2 m} \cdot \frac{h^{2}}{\lambda^{2}} \] Where \(h=\) Planck constant \(\lambda=\) wavelength The photon energy…
