A photon has the same wavelength as the de-Broglie wavelength of electron. Given that c = speed of light and v = speed of electron. Which of the following relation is correct? [Here $E_e$ =Kinetic energy of electron, $E_{ph}$ = energy of photon, $p_e$ =momentum of electron and $p_{ph}$ =momentum of photon] |
$\frac{E_e}{E_{ph}}=\frac{2c}{v}$ $\frac{E_e}{E_{ph}}=\frac{v}{2c}$ $\frac{p_e}{p_{ph}}=\frac{2c}{v}$ $\frac{p_e}{p_{ph}}=\frac{c}{2v}$ |
$\frac{E_e}{E_{ph}}=\frac{v}{2c}$ |
Given, $λ_{ph}=λ_e$ $∴\frac{h}{p_{ph}}=\frac{h}{p_e}$ $∴p_{ph}=p_e$ $∴\frac{E_{ph}}{c}=\frac{2E_e}{v}$ $∴\frac{E_e}{E_{ph}}=\frac{v}{2c}$ |
