उत्तर
for a photon but not for an electron
The equation E = pc is valid for a particle with zero rest mass. The rest mass of a photon is zero, but the rest mass of an electron is not zero. So, the equation will be valid for photon, and not electron.

(a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76 × 1011 C kg−1.
(b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for an collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong? In what way is the formula to be modified?
