The equivalent wavelength of a moving electron has the same value as that of a photon having an energy of `6xx10^(-17)J`. Calculate the momentum of the electron.

Answer» Energy of photon, `E=6xx10^(-17)J`
`E=hv=(hc)/lambda`
or wavelength of photon, `lambda=(hc)/E`
Momentum of moving electron
`p=h/lambda=h/(hc//E)=E/c=(6xx10^(-17))/(3xx10^8)`
`=2xx10^(-25)kgms^-1`
