Q26.A particle of mass 9. 1 × 10−31 kg travels in a medium with a speed of 106 m s−1 and a photon of radiation of linear momentum 10−27 kg m s−1 travels in a vacuum. The wavelength of the photon is ____ times the wavelength of the particle. ∘

What This Question Tests

This question tests the calculation of de Broglie wavelength for a particle and the wavelength of a photon using their respective momentum values, then finding their ratio.

Concepts Tested

De Broglie wavelengthPhoton momentumRelativistic and non-relativistic particles

Formulas Used
