An electron is moving through a field. It is moving $(i)$ opposite to an electric field and $(ii)$ perpendicular to a magnetic field as shown. For each situation, determine the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron:

  • A
    Decreasing, remain same
  • B
    Increasing, decreasing
  • C
    Increasing, increasing
  • D
    Remain same, remain same

According to the de-Broglie hypothesis,the wavelength associated with a moving electron of mass $m$ is $\lambda_e$. Using the mass-energy relation and Planck's quantum theory,the wavelength associated with a photon is $\lambda_p$. If the energy $(E)$ of the electron and the photon is the same,then the relation between $\lambda_e$ and $\lambda_p$ is:
