NEET Solved Paper 2016 Question 20

Question: An electron of mass m and a photon have same energy E. The ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths associated with them is :

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{c}{{( \frac{E}{2m} )}^{\frac{1}{2}}} $

B) $ {{( \frac{E}{2m} )}^{\frac{1}{2}}} $

C) $ c{{( 2mE )}^{\frac{1}{2}}} $

D) $ \frac{1}{xc}{{( \frac{2m}{E} )}^{\frac{1}{2}}} $ (being velocity of light)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • For electron $ ,{\lambda_e}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} $ For Photon $ E=pc $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ {\lambda _{Ph}}=\frac{hc}{E} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{{\lambda_e}}{{\lambda _{Ph}}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}\times \frac{E}{hc}={{( \frac{E}{2m} )}^{1/2}}\frac{1}{c} $
