The equivalent wavelength of a moving electron has the same value as that of a photon having an energy of 6 xx 10^(-17) J. Calculate the momentum of the electron.

Answer»

Solution :E = Energy of the photon `=hv=(hc)/(lambda)`
`:. lambda=(hc)/(E)`
`:.` Wavelength of the MOVING electron `=lambda=(hc)/(E)`
`:.` Momentum of the electron =p
`=(h)/(lambda)=(hE)/(hc)=(E)/(C)`
`=(6xx10^(-17))/(3xx10^(8))kg ms^(-1)`
`=2xx10^(-25)kg ms^(-1)`
