A photon and an electron have the same de-broglie wavelength, which one has higher total energy?

Answer»

high momentum (shortwavelength) the total energy will be dominated by the KINETIC energy of the PARTICLE. Again, SINCE KE at a given momentum is inversely proportional to MASS then theelectron will have the greater total energy. ... A photon and electron has the same DE Broglie wavefront.
