Q136 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Physics

An electron of mass m and a photon have same energy E. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths associated with them is:
(c being velocity of light)

  • Correct answer
    A
    1cE2m12
  • B
    E2m12
  • C
    c2mE12
  • D
    1c2mE12

Solution

De-Broglie wavelength is given by

λe=hp=h2m.E for electron

De-Broglie wavelength of photon is given by

λp=hp=hEc=hcE

λeλp=12mE.Ec=1cE2m

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