Matter waves (DC Broglie waves)
Question

The kinetic energy of electrons is 10-20 J and the photons also have the same energy. The wavelengths associated with these particles are λe and λph respectively. These wavelengths are related in the following way

Moderate
Solution

for photon λph=cv=hchv=hcE
For electron λe=hmv=h(2mE)
λphλe=c2mE =3×1082×9×10311020  or λphλe>1  or  λph>λe
