  • A
    All atomic particles in motion have waves of a definite wavelength associated with them.
  • B
    The higher the momentum,the longer is the wave-length.
  • C
    The faster the particle,the shorter is the wave-length.
  • D

An object of mass $200 \ g$ is moving with a speed of $5 \ m/hr$. The order of the de Broglie wavelength associated with it is ...... $(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s)$.

An electron (of mass $m$) and a photon have the same energy $E$ in the range of a few $eV$. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron and the wavelength of the photon is ($c =$ speed of light in vacuum).

An electron microscope uses electrons accelerated by a voltage of $50\; kV$. Determine the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons. If other factors (such as numerical aperture,etc.) are taken to be roughly the same,how does the resolving power of an electron microscope compare with that of an optical microscope which uses yellow light?

Let $E_e$ and $E_p$ represent the kinetic energy of an electron and a photon,respectively. If the de-Broglie wavelength of a photon is twice the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron,then find the ratio $E_p / E_e$. (Given: speed of electron $v = c / 100$,where $c$ is the velocity of light).

If we consider an electron and a photon of the same de-Broglie wavelength,then they will have the same:
