    What should be the velocity of an electron so that its momentum becomes equal to that of a photon of wavelength\[5200\text{ }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]?

    A)  700 m/s        

    B)  1000 m/s

    C)  1400 m/s       

    D)  2800 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Momentum, \[p=mv=\frac{h}{\lambda }\] or     \[v=\frac{h}{m\lambda }\] \[\therefore \] \[v=\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}}{9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}\times 5.2\times {{10}^{-7}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{4}}}{9.1\times 5.1}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=1400\,m/s\]
