Question: If an electron and a photon propagate in the form of waves having the same wavelength, it implies that they have the same [CBSE PMT 1995; DCE 2001; AIIMS 2003]
Options:
A) Energy
B) Momentum
C) Velocity
D) Angular momentum
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
If an electron and a photon propagates in the form of waves having the same wavelength, it implies that they have same momentum. This is according to de-Broglie equation, $ p\propto \frac{1}{\lambda } $
