By a suitable example,show that the particle or wave nature of light depends on the type of experiment.

The de Broglie wavelength of a particle moving with a speed of $0.8 c$ is equal to the wavelength of a photon. If $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum, the ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the particle is:

The spectrum obtained from an electric lamp or a red-hot heater is:

$A$ light beam of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is incident on a metal having a work function of $1.25 \, eV$,placed in a magnetic field of intensity $B$. The electrons emitted perpendicular to the magnetic field $B$,with maximum kinetic energy,are bent into a circular arc of radius $30 \, cm$. The value of $B$ is $.... \times 10^{-7} \, T$.
Given $hc = 20 \times 10^{-26} \, J \cdot m$,mass of electron $m_e = 9 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,and $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$.

Two electrons are moving with the same speed $v$. One electron enters a region of a uniform electric field,while the other enters a region of a uniform magnetic field. If the de-Broglie wavelengths of the two electrons after some time are ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$ respectively,then:
