Q61 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

An electron (of mass m ) and a photon have the same energy E in the range of a few eV. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron and the wavelength of the photon is ( c= speed of light in vacuum)

  • A
    1c2Em1/2
  • B
    c(2mE)1/2
  • Correct answer
    C
    1cE2m1/2
  • D
    E2m1/2

Solution

λd for electron =h2mE
λ for photon =hCE
Ratio =h2mEEhC=1CE2m

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
