An electron with speed $v$ and a photon with speed $c$ have the same $de-Broglie$ wavelength. If the kinetic energy and momentum of the electron are $E_{e}$ and $p_{e}$ and that of the photon are $E_{ph}$ and $p_{ph}$ respectively,which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $\frac{E_{e}}{E_{ph}} = \frac{2c}{v}$
  • B
    $\frac{E_{e}}{E_{ph}} = \frac{v}{2c}$
  • C
    $\frac{p_{e}}{p_{ph}} = \frac{2c}{v}$
  • D
    $\frac{p_{e}}{p_{ph}} = \frac{v}{2c}$

$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. The photoelectrons emitted from the surface have de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_1$. Then the ratio $\lambda : \lambda_1^2$ is ($h =$ Planck's constant,$c =$ velocity of light,$m =$ mass of electron).

The de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated through a potential difference $V$ is $\lambda_e$ and the de Broglie wavelength associated with a proton accelerated through the same potential difference is $\lambda_p$. If their corresponding masses are $m_e$ and $m_p$,respectively,then the ratio of their de Broglie wavelengths is . . . . . . .
