A

Energy

B

Momentum

C

Velocity

D

Angular momentum

Answer

Momentum

Explanation

Solution

If an electron and a photon propagates in the from of waves having the same wavelength, it implies that they have same momentum. This is according to de-Broglie equation, p1λp \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}.
