The de Broglie Wavelength of photon is twice the de Broglie wavelength of an electron. The speed of the electron is Ve=100c.Then
A
EpEe=10−4
B
EpEe=10−2
C
mecpe=10−1
D
mecpe=10−4
Answer
EpEe=10−2
Explanation
Solution
for electron
λe=meveh=me(c/100)h=mec100h.......(i)
Ee=21meve2ormeve=2Eeme
λe=meveh=2meEehorEe=2λc2meh2......(ii)
For photon
Ep=λphc=2λehc(∵λp=2λe(Given))
∴EeEp=2λehc×h22λe2me=hλemec
=mec100h×hmec=100 (using (i))
∴EpEe=1001=10−2
For electron pe=mever=m×100c
∴mecpe=1001=10−2
Thus option (2) is correct
