The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity c/2 (c = velocity of light in vacuum) is equal to the wavelength of a photon. The ratio of the kinetic energies of electron and photon is
1 : 4
1 : 2
1 : 1
2 : 1
The ionization energy of hydrogen is 13.6 eV. The energy of the photon released when an electron jumps from the first excited state (n = 2) to the ground state of a hydrogen atom is
3.4 eV
4.53 eV
10.2 eV
13.6 eV
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is the same as that of a 50 keV X-ray photon. The ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the electron is (the energy equivalent of electron mass is 0.5 MeV)
1 : 50
1 : 20
20 : 1
50 : 1
