### Photon Wavelength QuestionA photon has a wavelength of 50 nm. What is the de Broglie wavelength of an electron that has the same momentum as this photon?- [ ] 0.25 nm- [ ] 150 nm- [ ] 50 nm- [ ] 2.0 nm- [ ] Not enough information given**Explanation:**To solve this problem, one should understand that the de Broglie wavelength can be computed using the relationship between a particle's momentum and its wavelength. For a photon, the wavelength (\(\lambda\)) is related to momentum (\(p\)) via the equation \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \), where \(h\) is Planck's constant.For electrons, the de Broglie wavelength also follows \( \lambda = \frac{h}{p} \). Given that the photon and the electron have the same momentum in this problem, we can directly compare their wavelengths.No diagrams or graphs are included with this question.
