The wavelength $\lambda_e$ of an electron and $\lambda_p$ of a photon of same energy $E$ are related by

  • A
    $\lambda_p \propto \lambda_e^2$
  • B
    $\lambda_p \propto \lambda_e$
  • C
    $\lambda_p \propto \sqrt{\lambda_e}$
  • D
    $\lambda_p \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda_e}}$

An electron of mass $m$ and a photon have the same energy $E$. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths associated with them is:

An electron of mass $m$ with an initial velocity $\vec{V} = V_0 \hat{i} \,(V_0 > 0)$ enters an electric field $\vec{E} = -E_0 \hat{i} \,(E_0 = \text{constant} > 0)$ at $t = 0$. If $\lambda_0$ is its de-Broglie wavelength initially,then its de-Broglie wavelength at time $t$ is:

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, mg$ has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity of $3 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. The velocity of the particle is (mass of electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$).

Explain how,according to Born's probability interpretation,a wave having a single (unique) wavelength is extended all over space.

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is the same as that of a $50 \ keV$ $X$-ray photon. The ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the electron is (the energy equivalent of electron mass is $0.5 \ MeV$ ).
