Question

With what velocity must an electron travel so that its momentum is equal to that of a photon of wavelength 560 nm?

Solution

Correct option is

1300 ms–1

 

According to de-Broglie equation, . Thus, if momentum of electron = momentum of photon then λ of electron = λ of photon = 560 nm.  

Applying de-Broglie equation to electron,
