If an electron and a photon have energy, then, (A) Electrons and photons both have wavelengths Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) and (C) only (A) and (B) only (B) and (C) only (A) and (D) only |
(A) and (B) only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (B) only Given: Both electron and photon have energy. For an electron (particle): De Broglie wavelength → $\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ Momentum → $p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$ For a photon (quantum of light): Energy → $E = h\nu$ Momentum → $p = \frac{E}{c} = \frac{h\nu}{c} = \frac{h}{\lambda}$ Hence, both electron and photon possess wavelength and momentum if they have energy. Correct options: (A) Electrons and photons both have wavelengths (B) Electron and photon both have momentum Final Answer: (A) and (B) |
