What Energy Makes a Photon’s Wavelength 10 Times That of an Electron?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the energy value in electron volts (eV) at which a photon’s wavelength is ten times that of an electron, with the answer identified as 10.3 eV. Participants emphasize the need for relevant equations and calculations to arrive at the solution. There is a request for users to show their work to facilitate assistance. The conversation highlights the relationship between energy and wavelength for both particles. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

an electron and a photon have the same energy. at what value of energy (in eV) will the wavelength of the photon be 10 times that of the electron? ( 10.3eV)

how to get the answer? anybody help please

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes'

TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
