    The de-Broglie wavelength of a particle moving with a velocity \[2.25\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]is equal to the wavelength of a photon. The ratio of kinetic energy of the particle to the energy of the photon is: (Velocity of light is\[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\])

    A)  \[\frac{1}{8}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{3}{8}\]

    C)   \[\frac{5}{8}\]                                 

    D)  \[\frac{7}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Velocity of particle \[v=2.25\times {{10}^{8}}\] \[=\frac{3}{4}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}=\frac{3}{4}c\]   \[(\because \,c=3\times {{10}^{8}}\,m/s)\] de-Broglie wavelength of the particle is given by \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=\frac{h}{mv}\]                                            ?(i) Energy of photon is given by as \[{{E}_{2}}=hv=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}\] \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=\frac{hc}{{{E}_{2}}}\]                                               ?(ii)                 but         \[{{\lambda }_{1}}={{\lambda }_{2}}\]                                    (given)                                 \[\frac{h}{mv}=\frac{hc}{{{E}_{2}}}\]                 or            \[{{E}_{2}}=mvc\]                                            ?(iii) Now, kinetic energy of particle is \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \frac{3}{4}c \right)}^{2}}\] \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{9}{32}m{{c}^{2}}\]                                        ?(iv) From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{9}{32}m{{c}^{2}}}{mvc}=\frac{\frac{9}{32}m{{c}^{2}}}{m\times \frac{3}{4}c\times c}\] \[=\frac{9}{32}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{3}{8}\] \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{8}\]
