Dual Nature Of Light Question 150

Question: Photon and electron are given same energy $ ({{10}^{-20}}J) $ . Wavelength associated with photon and electron are $ {\lambda_{Ph}} $ and $ {\lambda_{el}} $ then correct statement will be [RPMT 2001]

Options:

A) $ {\lambda_{Ph}}>{\lambda_{el}} $

B) $ {\lambda_{Ph}}<{\lambda_{el}} $

C) $ {\lambda_{Ph}}={\lambda_{el}} $

D) $ \frac{{\lambda_{el}}}{{\lambda_{Ph}}}=C $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Wavelength of photon will be greater than that of electron because mass of photon is less than that of electron
$ \Rightarrow {\lambda_{ph}}>{\lambda_{e}} $
