Problem 3P
Use the Einstein relation E = hf and the relation E = pc to show that the de Broglie relation A.3 holds for photons.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 3P
Given in the question are two energy magnitudes. We can equate the both equations and then arrive at the desired expression. The steps are discussed below.
Step 1
Given, …..(1)
Here, Planck’s constant
frequency of a photon
