The discussion revolves around the relationship between the wavelengths of photons and electrons that possess the same energy, specifically within a relativistic context. The original poster seeks to understand how to demonstrate that their wavelengths differ and how to calculate energy when the wavelength difference is a factor of four.
There is ongoing exploration of the problem, with participants providing guidance on the need to express wavelength in terms of energy. Some have pointed out the requirement for the original poster to demonstrate prior effort before receiving further assistance.
The discussion is framed within the constraints of forum rules that require participants to show their efforts before receiving help. There is also a mention of the need to consider the rest mass of the electron in the context of its wavelength.
Use the same formula. Think of the electron as a photon that has a non-zero rest mass.mushupork5 said:well the wavelength of a photon is simply h/p, for the electron i can't seem to find a formula for the wavelength
