According to the de-Broglie hypothesis,the wavelength associated with a moving electron of mass $m$ is $\lambda_e$. Using the mass-energy relation and Planck's quantum theory,the wavelength associated with a photon is $\lambda_p$. If the energy $(E)$ of the electron and the photon is the same,then the relation between $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ is:
- A$\lambda_p \propto \lambda_e$
- B$\lambda_p \propto \lambda_e^2$
- C$\lambda_p \propto \sqrt{\lambda_e}$
- D$\lambda_p \propto \frac{1}{\lambda_e}$

$A$ proton,a neutron,an electron,and an $\alpha$-particle have the same energy. If $\lambda_{p}, \lambda_{n}, \lambda_{e},$ and $\lambda_{\alpha}$ are the de Broglie wavelengths of the proton,neutron,electron,and $\alpha$-particle respectively,then choose the correct relation from the following:
An electron (mass $m$) with an initial velocity $\overrightarrow{v} = v_{0} \hat{i} \left(v_{0} > 0\right)$ is moving in an electric field $\overrightarrow{E} = -E_{0} \hat{i} \left(E_{0} > 0\right)$ where $E_{0}$ is constant. If at $t = 0$ the de Broglie wavelength is $\lambda_{0} = \frac{h}{mv_{0}}$,then its de Broglie wavelength after time $t$ is given by:

Let $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ be the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle when $0 \le x \le 1$ and $x > 1$ respectively. If the total energy of the particle is $2E_0$,find $(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^2$.

View SolutionIf $E_p$ and $E_e$ represent the kinetic energy of a photon and an electron respectively. If the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_p$ of a photon is twice the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ of an electron,then $E_e / E_p$ is (Speed of electron $= C/100$,where $C$ is the velocity of light).
