Detailed Solution

λ=hmv  is the de Broglie wavelength. 

The energy of a photon of this wavelength is

E=hν=hcλ=hch/mv=mvc             …………….(i)

Kinetic energy of the particle is

E'=12mv2                                  ………………..(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have

E'E=12mv2mvc       =v2c=2.25×1082×3×108=2.256=38
