Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Photon A has  twice the Energy of Photon B

i.e. [tex]E_a=2E_b[/tex]

de Broglie wavelength is given by

[tex]\lambda =\frac{h}{P}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lmabda }=\frac{P}{h}[/tex]

and Energy of Proton is given by

[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }[/tex]

[tex]E=hc\times \frac{P}{h}[/tex]

[tex]E=Pc[/tex]

where P=momentum

c=velocity of Light

[tex]P=\frac{E}{c} [/tex]

Momentum of A [tex]P_a=\frac{E_a}{c}=\frac{2E_b}{c}[/tex]

Momentum of B is [tex]P_b=\frac{E_b}{c}[/tex]

Thus [tex]P_a>P_b[/tex]

For wavelength

[tex]\lambda _a=\frac{h}{P_a}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda _b=\frac{h}{P_b}[/tex]

since [tex]P_a>P_b[/tex] therefore

[tex]\lambda _a<\lambda _b[/tex]
