An electron and photon have same wavelength. If $E$ is the energy of photon and $p$ is the momentum of electron, then the magnitude of $\frac{E}{p}$ in SI unit is (a) $3.33 \times 10^{-9}$ (b) $3.0 \times 10^{8}$ (c) $1.1 \times 10^{-19}$ (d) $9 \times 10^{16}$

Round 1
An electron with speed $v$ and a photon with speed $c$ have the same de Broglie wavelength. If the kinetic energy and momentum of electrons is $E_{e}$ and $P_{c}$ and that of photon is $E_{p h}$ and $P_{p h}$ respectively, then the correct statement is (a) $\frac{E_{c}}{E_{p h}}=\frac{2 c}{v}$ (b) $\frac{E_{e}}{E_{p h}}=\frac{v}{2 c}$ (c) $\frac{P_{e}}{P_{p h}}=\frac{2 c}{v}$ (d) $\frac{P_{e}}{P_{p h}}=\frac{v}{2 c}$
An electron and a photon each have a wavelength of 0.20 $\mathrm{nm} .$ What is the momentum (in $\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} )$ of the (a) electron and (b) photon? What is the energy (in eV) of the (c) electron and (d) photon?
