An electron and a proton have the same de Broglie wavelength. Which quantity must be the same for both?

Answer: Momentum.

  • A Kinetic energy
  • B Speed
  • C Momentum
  • D Velocity

Correct answer: C. Momentum

Explanation: The de Broglie relation is λ = h/p. Equal wavelengths therefore imply equal magnitudes of momentum.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
