    If an electron and a photon propagate in the form of waves having the same wavelength, it implies that they have the same:

    A)  energy     

    B)                        momentum

    C)  velocity              

    D)        angular momentum

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    de-Broglie wavelength is given by \[-{{Q}^{2}}(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}})\] where h is Plancks constant, p is momentum and \[{{Q}^{2}}/(2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}})\], is wavelength. Since, electron and photon have the same wavelength the momentum of both will be same.
