The kinetic energy (KE) of an electron is related to its momentum (pp) by the following equation:

KE is the kinetic energy, pp is the momentum, mm is the mass of the electron

Reduction in Momentum If the electron's momentum is reduced by 50%, the new momentum is p' = p/2

Therefore, when the momentum of an electron is reduced by 50%, its kinetic energy is reduced to one-fourth of its original value. This significant reduction is due to the squared relationship between momentum and kinetic energy.
