Question

The de Broglie wavelengths for an electron and a photon are λ e and λ p respectively. For the same kinetic energy of electron and photon, which of the following presents the correct relation between the de Broglie wavelengths of two?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

De-Broglie wavelength for electron is given by, λ e = h 2 m k For photon k = h c λ p ⇒ λ p = h c k . Therefore, λ e = h λ p 2 m h c λ p ∝ λ e 2
