Q. If an electron and proton are propagating 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
Explanation

(a) If an electron and a proton propagating in the form of waves and their wavelength are same, then according to the relation
$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$
Also, $\lambda_{electron} = \lambda_{proton}$
$\therefore\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ E_{e} = E_{p}$
Hence, their energies are same.
